This cherry tool cabinet features tombstone paneled doors made from air-dried black walnut. The cabinet is joined with mitered sticking and locked with square ebony pins. It houses most all of the tools I need. The drawers have recessed knobs turned from gaboon ebony.

It sits above my workbench and everything is easily within my grasp, including my large array of planes. I have two spaces reserved for planes #1 and #2 that I’ve not yet acquired.
