Hope Blanket Cedar Chest Kit Do-It-Yourself Woodworking w/ Dovetail Joints DIY

Description

This cedar chest kit is made in an Amish woodworking shop in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. The entire chest is made of solid, 3/4-inch thick cedar wood.  Each kit comes unassembled and unfinished, the pieces have been cut to basic sizes, planed and sanded. Basic woodworking skills are needed to assemble a kit. Ends and bottom need to be sanded flush, trim needs to be mitered and cut to length. The tools required to finish a kit are: nail gun or hammer and nail countersink punch, glue and nails, wood putty, miter saw, belt or orbital sander, and bar clamps. The recommended finish is a clear lacquer, nails 1-1/2 in. finish (ring shank work well). Each kit comes with hinges and a lock. I can email basic instructions, please provide an email address when ordering.
We have kits in three sizes, and accessories also can be added. They come in small - 36L x 17W x 18H, medium - 42L x 19W x 19H, and large (standard) size - 45L x 20W x 21H. I'll deduct from the final price if you want a medium chest and for a small. Accessories include a routered heart design on the front ( extra, pic 4 shows the design), hand carved wheat design on front (pic 2, ), dutch birds and heart design (pics 3, 10 - ), slide tray (42x8x3" - $

), seat rails ($

and cushion ($

This auction is for one plain front standard size flat top cedar chest kit with dovetail joinery (pic 1),
other pictures show the kit in assembly. The dovetail kit is usually ready in two weeks
.
I'm selling a standard butt-joined kit on another auction, for less.
