In a previous column I mentioned some of the furniture styles we make including our standard design and Mission style. I also mentioned that rustic alder is gaining in popularity in our kitchen and bath cabinets and now in furniture. The blanket chests shown are in Mission style using quarter sawn oak and the other made in rustic alder. Although this piece is exactly the same size, the appearance is very different. The blanket chest is a handy piece for storage at the end of a bed, in a guest room or for a bench anywhere in the house. What a great keep sake for the traditional “hope” chest, filled with all the essentials a newly wed or college bound student would need. Is this an old fashioned concept? I hope not. If so, maybe it s time to revive a time honored tradition and order one for your loved one.

You could get some plastic tarp coverings to insulate against the rain. Maybe there’s some kind of varnish you can buy to strenghten the material.
