Shaker Blanket Chest in Cherry
It’s not everyday that two of your closest friends and favorite hiking buddies get married! Since I suck at shopping, I decided to try and build them something that was both practical as well as carried some significance from our collective friendships. After some deliberation, I settled on this Chas. Durfee Shaker blanket chest in local figured PA black cherry, a hardwood species that comprises so many of the canopies that we’ve whiled away weekends hiking under during our time at Penn State. And as perhaps every woodworker knows, cherry richens with the passage of time- no doubt emblematic of the unending love of a matrimonial bond!
