Custom Hardwood Blanket Chest with Thunderbird-Inspired Panel and Exotic Wood Lid

This handcrafted hardwood blanket chest blends bold symbolism with refined craftsmanship. The front center panel features a Thunderbird-inspired design, a powerful symbol in Native American culture representing strength and protection, creating a striking focal point in any space.

The lid showcases a stunning striped hardwood design crafted from Purpleheart, Padauk, and Walnut. The rich natural tones — deep violet, warm red, and dark chocolate brown — create layered depth and contrast, highlighting the beauty of each wood species.

Built from solid hardwood and finished by hand in our Pendleton, Oregon workshop, this chest is designed for both visual impact and lasting durability. The spacious interior provides reliable storage for blankets, heirlooms, or everyday essentials while maintaining heirloom-quality construction.

Each piece is built to order with carefully selected wood species, finish options, and panel detailing.
