thanks lake!!

yeah, that's pretty closed to what i had in mind......with the exception that i would not make the shape as jagged looking for safetys sake and for consrtuctions sake....if the wood is too thin and pointy it may break off or poke someone if they brush by it......i would think that if you just cut the various wood strips on the side at various lengths and slight angles you can achieve the same effect...i wish i could photo shop!!.....anyway, the idea is to create an opening that maximizes viewing of the chests contents without minimizing the structure to where it is too weak......if the wood strips looked as if parts planks were missing,i think it would achieve the right look as well without having to be too jagged...
