Kintaro Yazawa inspired Tool Box
Jan 27, 2015
As each of my children moves out, I like to make them a box for their tools. This tool box for #4, measuring 8 1/2 by 19 inches and 13 inches high, utilizes a Kintaro Yazawa hawk’s nail joint, which I learned to make from Jonathan Binzen’s Fine Woodworking article entitled “The wizard’s secrets.” The box is made completely by hand from a single plank of 7/8 ths inch oak, except for the handle that came from a piece of an old oak tree that fell on my property. The box is finished with 4 coats of Maloof poly / oil and 2 coats Maloof oil / wax.

Awesome! Good for you!
Very nicely made tool tote Dan, but in reality using hardwood makes these type totes much to heavy, especially when loaded with tools. I made a similar looking tote a few years ago using Poplar and it was still to heavy. I use it as a magazine holder now.
