Treasure Chest for my finds

Greetings;
Are there any woodworkers that makes treasure chests for storing our finds and coins in? If so send me a PM and tell me what you make.

Thanks David
 
I guess i would call it table top. I would like something the size of a large shoe box.
 
I have made cabinets and tables and the like, but never tried much in the way of small intricate projects. Have you looked at jewelry boxes and such at local retailers? With Christmas coming they should have a large selection to choose from. l just think that shipping would be very costly, due to size and weight.
 
You can find them at your local thrift or antique stores . I have come across quite a few of them over the years while browsing for other treasures and usually they are no more than maybe $25.00 or less . Good luck and hope you find one !

I've dome some pretty intricate box work. Problem is very few people are willing to pay for custom work and the time it takes when they are used to paying Chinese import prices. My last cigar humidor ran over $700 as an example. A small arch top "treasure" chest that size could easily hit $300+ on a one off basis using good materials and superior quality hardware. I doubt the market would be there for a production run in my shop or I'd jump on it!
 
I picked up a large wooden box at Hobby Lobby. It is lined and has a large photo collage front. I put pictures of some of my best finds on the front. I can't remember the exact price but I think on sale, less than $20. Let us know what you go with for your finds.
