The blanket chest below was designed to highlight the character of the quarter-sawn red oak from which it is made. The simple lines, modest curves in the base, and natural finish focus the eye on the beautiful figure in the wood.
The chest features an unfinished cedar bottom as well as torsion hinges that allow the lid to remain open even if at a 45 degree angle. This makes it convenient for getting items in & out and prevents the lid from slamming shut.
