Reader Denzil Bell sent in these photos of a blanket chase using three different wood species.
Here are some photos of a chest I made for my grandson. The project is made of cherry (cut by the recipient’s great grandfather), walnut and hard maple.

What a *BEAUTIFUL* piece! Lovely work!
Wow – very nice piece and I love the inscriptions. What do you use to inscribe the quotes?
I’m working on a blanket chest for my daughter and would like to leave a legend similar to yours. I am intriqued by the script ( font ) and wonder how you inscribed it into wood so beautifully. Absolutely gorgeous, please advise. Eric
Beautiful blanket chest—–excellent workmanship. I too would be interested in knowing the process used for the inscription.
I received the following note from Mr. Bell thanks to his pastor Rev. Dr. Frank Paine for his intercession.
“For those wondering about the inscription process, I print the desired text on plain paper using Microsoft Word (this allows a great choice of fonts), then trace it onto the project using carbon paper under the printed text, then wood burn it into the project. On course woods I use a “Sharpie Marker”” rather than the wood burner as its easier to get a smoother line on the small text.”
Thanks, Denzil
