Simple Modern Toy Boxes

I made two of these. One for each granddaughter at the time. (Since then I have another granddaughter and a grandson.) Made with solid oak everywhere except the top. I made the top with oak plywood for strength. I edged the lid with oak. These were the first projects I ever made where things had to fit tightly together and the beginning of my woodworking hobby.

Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Each family wanted a different finish, one a more natural oak and the other a weathered gray stain. I used Verathane stain and satin finish polyurethane on both.
