Very nice. Did Stanley offer the box in walnut? Where are the tools?

Suoerb!
Nice wood (walnut?), nice brass and plate!
Well done

Thank you Kevin!

Thanks Jeff.

For the first year (1923 I believe) Stanley made this tool chest exclusively from Black Walnut. In subsequent years they switched to less expensive hardwoods and finished them with dark stain.

Thank you very much Cornelius! Yes, Black Walnut. Good eye

very cool, time to find the tools to fill it now

Thanks Notw

Nice work. It came out great.

Thanks Rwolinski

That’s outstanding. I really like everything about it, the wood, the hinges and all the other hardware.

Thanks a lot Bob! That’s awfully nice
