Toy Box: Maple and Birdseye Maple

Photo: Diane Watkins: Heart & Hands Furniture

For a special child, I created this solid maple Toy Chest.  Materials: Hard Maple, Figured Maple, Birdseye Maple; brass piano hinge; extra strong springs for safety.  No lining as maple is finished inside natural; hand mixed maple stain applied with brush; final coats poly.  Base made separately from Birdseye maple.  Approximate dimensions 18" X 41" X 24".  Very heavy.  Shipped from South Carolina to Tucson AZ.  Recipients very pleased with this Toy Chest, and the surprise image of a Duck in the grain earned it the name: Duck Box.
