I’m going to be building a Greene and Greene inspired blanket chest. I’ve drawn a rough sketch of the front showing the proud box joints I plan on using for the corners. I’ve also drawn the cloud lift detail on the top rail on the left panel. I’ll be using the cloud lift on all the top rails; I just didn’t draw it on the right. I’m terrible with proportions and wanted some feedback on what ya’ll think about the dimensions? The rails and stiles will be 3 inches wide with the rails reducing to 2 inches. Do you think that’s too wide? The fingers on the box joints will be 4 inches. The panels will be flat.
