Type of Wood?
Hi,
I am looking to build a blanket trunk for my daughter but I can't seem to figure out what type of wood is in this picture. Does anyone know?

Philip,
It appears to me, to be knotty pine.
Red Cedar would make for a beautiful blanket chest.

I’d dig a a finger nail into it, if it yields it’s pine, maybe. Looks like pine and still may not yield. Nice box joints though.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
