Robert,

I used to think, "Down-Under'', meant to dig deeper in a pile of lumber, when looking for the good stuff.

''Down Under'' reminds me of Men-At-Work

Hello Ray

Yes the timber is all Australian.

the framework and lid is Camphor Laurel, camphor being a natural bug repellant.

Smells like Vicks Vapour rub if you have used it.

The panels are all Australian hardwoods, Brushbox and Yellow box again a native Australian hardwood.

The grain pattern was the reason I used the timber and it was purchased from Lazy Larry's woodworks

Robert that is one good looking blanket box. What kind of wood is that? Is that some exotic wood from down under. I really like that grain pattern

Robert you just keep building the wood boxes and I'm sure you will be getting customers from all over. This is a very nice eye appealing blanket chest with character.  Real nice design and different from a "just another chest".  Well made and showing some real craftsmanship.  Like the split lid look and the design around the bottom and the top remaind me of dentil molding.  Excellent work, Thank you for showing.
