Thank you. I used beadboard that you can find at any hardware store. I ran the boards through my table saw to get rid of the tongues and grooves, and then ripped them down to 1 inch strips. From there, I used my chop saw to cut them to length. I finally placed them on the rounded frame I made, and used a finishing nailer to nail them into place. It's important to sand them smooth too, and if anything hangs over the two shorter edges, I sanded them flush with the lid.

Very nice job. I like the wood burning. I've wanted to try wood burning for awhile but haven't had time to get into it.

I just got back from the wedding. It was a beautiful afternoon and a gorgeous ceremony. When the couple were waiting to do the grand march into the ballroom, I guess Andrea looked over at the gift table and said, "Oh my God, did Badger make that?" (Badger is my paintball callsign) She then started crying because she'd never been given anything handcrafted before. I guess even Matt choked up a bit. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

If they cry over the fact that you made it for them, then you know you did a good job.<br />

I told her now she has something she can store her wedding dress in, and she choked up again and nearly cried in my hug. Now THAT is why I make woodworking gifts. It's not about getting paid to do your work, and it's not about it just being your hobby. To me, it's about the PURE joy you see in the recipient(s)'s eyes when they realize you made it for them. I will never get tired of that. Don, you should definitely po…tag:kregjig.ning.com,2009-09-01:2900167:Comment:70582009-09-01T19:07:08.058ZDerekhttps://kregjig.ning.com/profile/Derek
Don, you should definitely post some photos/videos of the wood-burning process sometime soon. I'd definitely like to try my hand at that sometime!

Don, this looks like a fantastic project. I really like how well planned out you have the project before you start. This is a very good lesson for all of us to learn... planning a bit out ahead of time saves time, energy, materials, and a whole lot of frustration.<br />
<br />
I'm sure the McLaughlins will love their new hope chest!
