Tambour Tool Cabinet

The combination of a traditional look, abundant storage, and unique function makes this cabinet the perfect home for your trusted tools.

Building a finely crafted home for special hand tools, such as this tambour tool cabinet, can be a labor of love. The design concept here is loosely based on the much plainer tool cabinets once offered by Stanley Tools. But as you can clearly see, on this project we pulled out all the stops. The list of features starts with the pleasing color and subtle grain pattern of the solid, riftsawn red oak. With the simple, tasteful details and the classic hardware, the appearance has ageless craftsmanship written all over it.
