Default Toy Chest

Great work I really like the raised Cinderella.

Hey she'll like it more at 2 because now it's not just a toy box but a
castle, a boat and whatever else a 2-year old imagination can come up with.

Finally completed my grandniece's birthday gift. Almost 2 years in
planning/searching for wood and almost 1 year late but at least she will
still be 1 year old when she gets it this week. On Christmas Day she will
be 2.

No paints or dyes. Carcass is Cherry plywood with cherry trim lock
mitered corners. 19 species of wood make up the picture on the front.
The chest was finished on the back so when she out grows a toy chest, the
top can be rotated the back will become the front. Project included a
couple of firsts for me -- making the cushion, painting the cushion and
making the cherry trim for the front and back. Most difficult color to
find in wood was the blue for the Prince's jacket. Finally tracked down
some Blue Mahoe in Puerto Rico.
