The plans for this chest came from WOOD J/J '02, issue 142.
Constructed of cherry and honey locust. Body is finished with 3 coats Watco Danish Oil Clear, the top has 6 coats of a rubbed on finish of pure tung oil & spar varnish.

Really good job. Love the contrast between the cherry and locust. Someone will love this for a long time.

Great job. With a beautiful hope chest like that, I'm guessing there isn't much left for the recipient to hope for. Thanks for showing it off.

Mike, that's one beautiful chest. I would never have expected locust to look like that. Absolutely stunning!

Very nice, I really like the honey locust, maybe someday I will get to play with some.

Most excellent, as expected.
The locust is surprisingly heavy and dense, yet routed and cut cleanly.

Mack,
That is one beautiful piece of furniture. I really like the combination of woods you used.
I have one question for you, where did you get the hardware for it? In particular, the shocks (at least that's what they look like?)
