Peter Turner's sloping sided blanket chest from issue #203. With a few modifications, I used African Cherry and Hickory. The well written construction article, with good photographs and detailed drawings, made for an enjoyable project.

In answer to your questions, the construction article is in the January/February 2009 issue so it is very recent. I started the project back in the middle of January but was only able to work on it part time. The magazine article was more than adequate to build the chest and I also build sloping sided sea chests so I am familiar with the geometry and its issues. The chest is now on display at Gallery 9, which I am a member, in Port Townsend, Washington.

Thanks for sharing, Gina, Fine Woodworking.com
