This handcrafted Mission-style blanket chest was designed for a covered patio to store outdoor cushions while enhancing the client’s rustic entertainment space.

Key features include dual-access storage, a soft-close lift-top lid, and lower doors with bronze hinges to resist rusting. Made from white oak with black epoxy-filled knots. It was assembled with marine-grade epoxy, reinforced with steel battens to prevent warping, and finished with tung oil for natural aging and easy upkeep.
