Handcrafted Solid Cherry Blanket Chest with Hand-Cut Dovetails
This heirloom-quality blanket chest is meticulously handcrafted from premium cherry chosen for its warm tones and striking grain patterns. Designed to be the centerpiece of a bedroom or entryway, this chest marries traditional Shaker-inspired soul with master-level craftsmanship.
Artistry in the Details
The hallmark of this piece is the exposed, hand-cut dovetail joinery. Unlike machine-made furniture, these joints are cut by hand with a saw and chisel, ensuring a tight fit that will last for generations. The grain is carefully selected to wrap around the corners of the chest, creating a seamless visual flow that highlights the natural beauty of the wood.
Premium Material: 100% Solid American Cherry (no veneers or plywood).
Master Joinery: Hand-cut dovetails on all four corners for maximum strength and aesthetic appeal.
Signature Finish: Finished with multiple coats of hand-rubbed oil to provide a silky, "close-to-the-wood" feel and a soft, natural luster.
Functional Elegance
Beyond its beauty, this chest is built for daily use. Whether storing hand-knit quilts, seasonal linens, or family keepsakes, the spacious interior provides ample room.
Stay-Open Hinges: Equipped with high-quality solid brass lid stay to ensure the heavy solid cherry top stays open safely and closes gently.
Heirloom Longevity: Built using time-tested woodworking techniques that allow the wood to move naturally with the seasons.
Specifications
Dimensions: Approximately 38" W x 18" D x 22" H.
Wood Species: Cherry.
Finish: Hand-rubbed Oil and Wax.
A Note from the Maker:
Every chest is built one at a time in my shop. Because I work with natural solid wood, each piece features unique grain characteristics, making your chest a one-of-a-kind functional sculpture.
The chest shown in the photos is an example of a previously completed custom piece. Purchases are made to order.
