Pretty neat project, Joe. Is it pine?
Always a good idea to keep the lady happy!
Nice looking chest. I am sure she is proud of it. What wood is it?
Nice job.. excellent gift you made Joe. I am also wondering what the species is?

I ask this everytime I see something I want to make: what is the joinery? I think it is a beautiful piece. If it is pine, you stained it perfectly. Even your endgrain came out nice. I'm designing a trunk/coffee table for our front room, and I'm deciding on hidden joinery or through dovetails in my design. Yours is very nice.
Good job Joe.
Not only on the blanket chest but keeping the boss happy...
And a Happy New Year to you.
Nice chest. I'm sure your wife loves it.

Thanks for the replies. The wood is Aspen (Pine family I Believe). It is stained with Sedona Red, and then Poly urethane was applied
I was having a difficult time finding a white colored wood without a bunch of Knot holes. I wanted to use Oak but the wife wanted "a Lighter wood" meaning lighter in weight.
