Thought of the Day - Cedar chest
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 at 10:45AM
Last weekend I finished an outdoor cedar chest for storing our patio cushions in.
Simple box, mortised joints. The main panel of each side floats in a mortise. I left the side slats as wide as each board would allow instead of cutting them all the same width...seemed like a better use of the cedar. Aromatic cedar is pretty nice to work with. Lots of knots though that can cause some issues.
I've left it unfinished.
