Miniture Chests for Grandkids - Scoony - 02-19-2025
I finished these just in time for Christmas for 2 new Grandkids born in December. I used some clear 12x1 pine shelving boards that I had on hand collecting dust. The tops are white oak. The plans were in the book "Furniture in the Southern Style" by Bob Lang and Glen Huey.

Really nice! I'm betting these will see a lot of use not just from your grand kids but maybe their grand babies too. Finish looks great - what did you use?

It's hard to believe how well that pine painted up. Beautiful.

The paint I used was Valspar Cabinet and Furniture Oil-Enriched Enamel. I have used this paint on several projects. Very easy to get a nice finish with a rush and small rollers.

Very nice. Since it's pine, did you need to pretreat it with a conditioner? Any pics to share on the backboard and the drawers?

P.S. Nice job on those through dovetails!

Sorry, I failed to take more pics. The back is shiplapped pine. The drawers are dovetailed.
Prior to paint, I used good old Zinsser primer.
