My wife wanted a Cedar Chest for Christmas, so I made this one for her. My first attempt at makeing furniture. Turned out fairly nice. The important thing is my wife thinks it is the Greatest piece of furniture we own.
Measures 16" tall, 18" deep, 30" long. The artwork is just from things that were posted on the forum.

Hello dcurrysr,

Extremely nice! I love to see furniture pieces that are "dolled up" with our precious CC/CW's!

Thanks to all you folks for the nice reviews on the Cedar Chest. You have given me the courage to try another one for my Daughter.

Rav, The wildlife scene and the cheribs were posted a long time ago on the forum. They were free. I am sure they are still around in the pattern sharing depot. Someone had made the Wildlife scene for a sign, I just made it a little bigger for the Cedar Chest. I wish I could remember who posted them but I can't remember who it was.
