Hope chest for a niece

There’s nothing quite like the pride of completing a woodwork project and having all the drawers fit or the doors line up. (One of these days I’ll get there!)

This was a hope chest I built for my oldest niece as a graduation present. Now there are six more nieces to build for, and then I have to come up with something for the nephews… Maybe a nice plywood toolbox? :)
