Finished Product. I got some free offcut's of tongue and grooved walnut from my dad left over from a horse trailer floor. Decided to make a blanket box. I only had some 2x2 pine to use as corner posts but they worked out quite well. Routed out some dado's on my router table, clamped and glued it together.

The walnut stain on the pine worked better than I expected. Rustin's brand, two coats. Not an exact colour match but good enough for me

You can just see the dado slots on the top of this picture

Bottom with triangular pieces to hold the base. Hidden screws (sacrilegious I know). Put a sheet of 6mm plywood on the bottom to save weight.

Top secured with 15mm nails from my Aldi nail gun, which is a beast and well worth it. Finished with matt varnish.

Side View. 18mm Rope handles which may not be to everyone's taste, but I tried using hinges and it didn't feel right.
