When installing cedar lining in a chest, such as the blanket chest, do not apply any type of stain, paint, or finish to the
lining, inside of the chest, bottom of the lid, tray, and lid contact surfaces. Why? The resins in cedar are similar to those
in turpentine, so the oil vapors will soften oil- and water-based stains, paints, and finishes (including lacquer), causing
clothes and the lid to stick.

SHOP TIP
Protect panels from damage and
stain with waxed paper
When building frame-and-panel
assemblies, such as those for the blanket
chest, waxed paper comes in handy for
more than protecting the panels (which
need to freely expand and contract) from
glue squeeze-out. By leaving the paper on
the prestained panels during the remaining
assembly and staining of the project,
the paper also protects the panels from
scratches, scrapes, and additional stain.
After staining, simply pull the paper out
from under the panel trim (H, I).

and assemble and clamp the front/back and side panels
