I just finished this chest for my grand daughter C. J. It's walnut finished with blo , shellac, and wax. The medallion is satinwood and walnut. The bottom of the inside is cedar. BTW the cedar is from a tree that I cut down and had sawed up in 1979. I used most of the wood to build C.J.s mother (my daughter) a cedar chest in the spring of 1980 which was the year she was born.
