Lucy's Toy Box

Made this toy box for baby Lucy who will be joining us in late May. I still need to make a lid for it, but my efforts have been wife-ily reassigned.

Erin and I decided on the name Lucy based on a character in a book series we both loved when we were little - The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. To personalize the Chest for her I may inlay some themes from that story as well. I was thinking of using some different woods to inlay a lion (Aslan from that story). Or maybe her name... I haven't settled on that yet. The floor of the chest is made out of Cedar, which if you've ever had an old chest they usually have some cedar which has a really pleasant aroma. I figure she can use it as a blanket chest or whatever when she gets older if she wants.
