Birdseye Maple chest is Lauren choice.

This handcrafted custom cedar hope chest was made as a College graduation gift for Alan and Susan's daughter, Lauren . She chose Hard Maple, Birdseye Maple and Aromatic Cedar from our list of woods for this special Heirloom Chest. It is a split panel style chest with a Heritage cushion lid,  and original base. A Quilt size, it measured 42 inches wide 19 inches deep and 18 inches high .
For Lauren from your parents Alan  and Susan , and your dear friend Brad, with our best wishes ,
and congratulations on that great achievement of a Bachelors Degree in Engineering .
The State of Vermont is indeed fortunate to have you !
May you enjoy opening this special  cedar chest as much as we enjoyed  creating it for you!
We will  be sad to see this one leave, but not for long as we have more to make for other special folks
         Dale "mrcedar'' & Kathy

Sometimes we use one end panel but for this chest two were used.  It's one of your many choices.

Lauren, we will be adding your engraved name plate to this special chest just before we ship it tomorrow. Also shown in this photo are the piano hinge for smooth opening, a counter- balance with 90 pounds of torque to make the heavy lid lift easier and stay open until you close it, and our signed and dated laser engraved Aromatic Cedar logo will also go here.

A closer look at the front shows some of our attention to detail by the book matching of the Birdseye Maple in the panels. It may seem like a little thing but as you add up all the little things we do, you begin to understand why these chests are so special for you.
The Heritage fabric on this cushion is a good choice to compliment the design and colors of this chest. 
Our original base provides a solid foundation to support family keepsakes.

Our cedar chests come with or without feet.  The choice is yours, when you order your own 
custom made cedar chest

From the choice of wood, to the size and style of the chest, to options of lids and feet, we'd love to craft one for you and your loved ones. Please visit our web pages or call us to see what you can choose for your own handcrafted, custom cedar chest.
