Tada.  A pirate chest.  It is not finished but I did the lid today and added hinges.  I still need handles and latch.  Oh yeah and staining a squid on there some where and leather straps.  And a tray inside.  The current thought is to put my D&D stuff in and put it under the game table.  The second photo has my daughters sitting on it to show scale.  Hmmm I wonder what they are planning with this chest.

Wow 28 days of making things.  This was my fourth year and the toughest for me.  Thanks everyone who posted and encouraged me on.  Thanks wonderful wife for letting me go and create for month just to see what I make.
