The Blanket Box is made in seasoned redwood and pine. The main body has dovetail corners. The base is a separate piece with a rebate into which the sides are fitted. The feet are oak. The lid has mitred corners and mitred edges to achieve a seamless finish.

hand, using smoothing planes, multi plane and shoulder plane.
