Toolbox

Woodworker: Cornelius Alten

This walnut and cherry toolbox is just one of many projects by Alten. The coopered top is formed with 18 pieces, each cut at 10°, with a corresponding sunburst at each end. When the walnut and cherry laminated handle is in the upright position, the tails of the handle engage the small knobs of the two drawers on each end to prevent the drawers from sliding out. Alten lined the drawers and the top compartment with red velvet and finished it with Danish oil and wax.
