This small keepsake box is a
scaled-down version of our popular blanket chest. Just like the blanket chest,
it features strong, hand-cut dovetail construction, dovetailed bracket feet, and
two drawers. The hinged lid is trimmed with a delicate molding and opens to
reveal a removable storage tray.
Despite the small size,
constructing this beautifully proportioned piece is a challenge that is certain
to increase your skill level. In this class you'll learn new skills and
also create an heirloom piece to take home with you.
