In the late spring/early summer of 2021, I designed and built a tack trunk for my youngest daughter, Megan. A tack trunk is used to hold the gear related to riding horses. The base of the design is from a magazine article about building a blanket chest. I modified that design based on looking at numerous tack trunks online and in-person at the barn where my daughter rides. I also incorporated input from Megan.
The main box is constructed from 3/4″ baltic birch plywood with cherry trim. The removable saddle bar is also made from 3/4″ baltic birch. The small removable tote is made with 1/2″ baltic birch and cherry trim. I finished all the parts with several coats of shellac followed by a couple of coats of paste wax.
