Here is my version of a toy box for my granddaughter. The sides and top are edge-glued oak. The carvings were done on partially assembled panels at about 12” wide, and then additional boards glued on after that. The flutes on the 1-1/2” posts were carved on the machine with two posts fastened to each other for a 3” width. I wanted to add a decorative trim to the top. My wife suggested the alphabet, which was a great suggestion.
