The pirate chest

Matt made this pirate chest as a wood box but once it was finished, it was a little too big for the space beside the fire place. So, it is now sitting under the loungeroom window and we are still figuring out what to use it for.
He made the top with a compartment which was intended for the firelighters and bits and pieces used to start the fire.
Then the whole lid lifts up to reveal the storage part for the wood.
I think if I lined it with some fabric I could turn it into a blanket box.
The pirate chest is a bit rustic in construction but after all it was intended to be used as a wood box and would be getting some rough treatment.
I love it anyway.
