So, if you recall from my previous post entitled Jill of all Trades, I took a woodworking class. I decided to make a cedar chest - only out of walnut. The bottom and back are actually made of cedar - to give it that good smell. There is a red oak inlay on the top and decorative red okay framing on the sides and front.
Here are some pics of the masterpiece. Can you believe that I actually designed and made this?!??! What?!?!!??

The Side -
The Top -
Open (you can see the cedar wood inside) -
From the Side again (without the flash so you can see a little better the natural wood colors)-
