The Tropical Walnut, or Nogal, is often planted in Nicaragua to provide shade for coffee plants growing below its outstretched branches. After around 60 years, these workhorse trees are cut down in lieu of younger ones which do the job better. Instead of letting some of this prized wood go to waste, it’s been repurposed and turned into these stunning tool boxes. Each is handmade from Tropical Walnut and features a tray for loose screws, nails, and small tools, and a space below for medium-size hand tools The beautiful grain of the tree is eye-catching, and comb joints are used for added durability to the already tough wood. And while it makes for a tremendously cool tool box, it also looks good on your dresser holding your EDC gear or other small trinkets.
