Curly Cherry toolchests
Pictured is one of two identical toolchests, built for Christmas gifts for my sons. The plans were Chris Gochnour’s, in FWW #169. The cherry was not stained or dyed, but was sprayed with lye to age the appearance and finished with orange shellac.
Troy; interior trays now shown! Thanks!

Very neat if you get pictures of the inside please post them.
Thanks for the pictures.

Troy,
Thanks for note. My grandaughter took pics of the trays and e-mailed to me--they're in there now!
Beautiful...I would use it for treasures or jewelry. The inside view showing the wood grain is lovely. Another romantic gift...you woodworking men are special ones!!

Just starting with wood and congratulations for a fine work on wood.
Very nice. The inside is beautiful - almost too nice for tools. Did you consider putting one of those odd little mirrors inside the lid?
vert fine craftsmanship and still has great utility.
Beautiful work! What else can be said?
Would that every dad be willing and able to provide such a gift to their offspring. Long after the kids (and their kids) have moved the several times in their lifetime, that box will be a prized possession and I'm betting a workaday tool will never visit. I appreciate not only the work, but the thought--the brass plate is a nice touch too. That box would be in an honored place within five minutes of arriving home.
Very Nice! I just built one from the same plan but made it somewhat larger 22" deep x 18" tall x 34" long. My wife wanted a nice storage chest for our bonus room upstairs and liked the look of th toolchest. I made it from walnut and lined the inside of the lid and the bottom with aromatic cedar. I also made only one sliding tray that is 1/2 the width of the chest.
