I plan to build an oak blanket chest for the foot of our bed in the style of our bedroom furniture and line the entire inside of the chest including the lid with 1/4" cedar. I have some questions as I plan the project. At this point I plan to glue up panels of cedar as I prefer the look of a solid piece over t&g sold at the box stores. Should I attach the cedar using brads or is it safe to simply glue it in place? I understand that it is not a good idea to apply a finish to wood exposed to the cedar. Does this mean I should leave the inside of the oak case (under the cedar) unfinished? Thanks for the help.
