TaDa...The Twins

After many months and hard work the twin cedar chests are complete, they only differ in color. Joe finished making Jacie and I matching dovetailed chests for Christmas. He made me one many years ago and has always wanted to make another with the knowledge he learned from the first. He started cutting back in October. Monday night he finished putting the hardware on.




He is so talented. Joe was able to teach the kids quite a bit while he did it. Jacie worked on it as part of her personal progress goals. She is excited to start her hope chest. Joe's brother, Uncle Nate, pitched in too. Here is Jacie learning how to apply the stain and lacquer. We love them Joe, you are so thoughtful.

  1. Yay! They are done. They look awesome! Way to go Joe. After seeing them being made I talked to my dad and now he is going to make me a cedar chest too. Can't wait! I love Renee's face in the pic. Ha ha! That was way fun. Thanks for a night out. I wish you were all here or me there so that we could do it more often. Good times. I miss them.
