Hello All,
I have been working on 2 projects for my SIL. These are a present for catering my daughters wedding. I am very new to woodworking, so I need some advice. The box is red oak and cherry. Not sure I like the legs/feet but I needed to hide a mistake. LOML wants me to add brass hinges and clasp, OK any other suggestions? Also says it is to plain, wants a decorative carving on top. Ideas? I did some test pieces with BLO and love the way the cherry came out but it is a big contrast. What else would you recommend? The blanket chest is pine, not finished, SIL wants it this way. I am thinking of adding a base molding but SIL & LOML like it as is.
All critiques are welcome.
