Veneered Blanket Chest
Oct 24, 2012
Woodworker: Andrew Ward
The geometric shapes in this veneered blanket chest were inspired by the mountains that surround Ward’s Colorado home. The peaks and alleys are English walnut, the horizontal lines and base are Macassar ebony, and the interior is pearwood. Unlike a traditional blanket chest, this one has a top that lifts like a piano lid and is secured by a hand-braided silk cord. Ward finished the piece with Liberon finishing oil.
