    Crafted from solid cherry, this master's tool cabinet provides a wonderful opportunity to show off one's skills and tools. The sides of the case are joined to the top and bottom with mortise and loose tenons, and the top and bottom are shaped by hand and plane to soften the overhang and add visual interest. Solid pieces of koa -- a beautifully figured wood native to Hawaii -- form the matched sliding-doors, and handcrafted handles of dark rosewood add a distinguishing touch. The doors glide smoothly in channels cut in the case, and they are easily removable for added versatility. The shelves provide plenty of storage and space and the inside of the case is adorned with handmade accessories such as racks and holders custom made to hold hand-tools.
