Treasure Chest / Toy Box

On his first visit to Disney this Febuary My Grandson fell in love with the Pirate Jack Sparrow charactor and everything Pirates, so for his birthday I thought it oppropriate to design/build him a chest for his “LUTE” and wordly possessions (i.e. toys and such) ! The design of the box is glue and joint construction and made with Oak Ply and Ebonized Poplar. It features rope handles and a child safe lid support,and “pirate” accents that he can remove as he grows up and out of this phase( as they often do !) The project was some what difficult because of the two tone finishing,but worth it in the long run. It turned out as expected and He was thrilled with the end results which made it all worth the effort ! Thanks for taking a look and as always be safe !..........ROB
