When my boys where toddlers, I built them a toy chest of white cedar. This was some twenty-two Years back. Recently in cleaning up a rarely used storage area, I came across it again. It was filled with toys Of the day, transformers, building blocks, books and the like. Finding it again brought back memories of time when I would make Christmas gifts as we didn't have a lot of money to spend. With the cold coming on I decide to build another, and ended up building five which I am offering for sale.

The dead fall Atlantic White Cedar was taken from various places near the shop. The wood selected was not suitable for boats as it was usually to short or thin. White cedar has an aroma just as its Red cedar sister. We have built many chests of White cedar for this reason.

The Toy Chests are in the style of trains Caboose. The top of the box is a small compartment for favorite small toy. The bottom is larger an can be used for storing those favorite stuffed animals or blanks when the child out grows the box. The end of the boxes are for books and such. My boys really gave their toy box a testing and the new chests were built with this in mind.

The Chest is thirty-four inches long, thirteen inches wide and twenty-four inches high. It is very light when empty and will no doubt be rolled about a lot. It would be an ideal place to stencil what a mother may wish. The finish is clear and the wood will darken a bite with age. The price is Two Hundred Twenty Five dollars.
