Painted Pine Blanket Box
This blanket box is made of furniture-grade white
pine. As best I can determine, this term is synonymous with
overpriced and of rather bad quality but by the time I
bought it, it was too late to back out. This item was made with
the wood left over from another project that was done as a gift
for a friend and itself served no other purpose than practice.
The box is
joined at all corners with through-dovetail joints although the
covering of barn red milk paint obscures them. The
interior was given a thin wash of federal blue milk
paint and a coating of clear shellac. The lid was has two simple
screwed-on oak battens to stiffen and stabilize it. Overall size
in inches: 37X17X26.
