Wedding chest #2

[Router-Jim]

Last fall I gained another Daughter-in-Law and made her a wedding chest. I wanted it to be similar but yet different from the one I made a couple of years ago for my first Daughtert-in-Law. Here was the first one: http://forum.carvewright.com/showthread.php?t=4202&highlight=wedding&page=2

The heart pattern was purchased from James at Vector 3D Art. I used all cherry which was stained and then laquered. For this project I even made the trim moldings.

I used centerline on the top panel before I raised the panel and added the rails and stiles.

The chest measures aprox. 12" x 12" x 24" w/o the trim.

That's about it, thanks for looking and I hope you like what I came up with this time. Sorry for the picture quality, I had to resize everything in order to post them.

Beautiful! And helpful. I have two sons that are marrying two sisters next summer. Guess what I'm gonna make for them!

Thanks for the great idea.

Thanks for all the nice comments. It really means a lot coming from fellow carvers.

There were a lot of hours in this project but it was still fun being a "labor of love" if you will.

Again thanks for all who took the time to look. I still have one son who's unmarried so I'll have to come up with one more design someday. lol
