As you know, I have made quite a few Japanese style tool chests<\/a> over the years, in several different styles. In addition to being useful for toting woodworking tools, they come in very handy when I need to take kumihimo<\/em> supplies somewhere. If I have a a lot of supplies, a large<\/a> or medium<\/a> size chest is good, and if I only need a few small things I can use my little bamboo box<\/a>. What I felt I was lacking was a box for somewhere in the middle. I had not yet made the Edo suzuribako<\/a>, so I made this small chest from some half-inch thick cedar.<\/p>\n\n\n

Overall, the chest is only 12.5″ long, 6.5″ wide, and 5″ tall. That is small enough to fit into the “double height” drawer slot of the small chest of drawers I have not documented because it is still kind of a work in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n
