Woodworker Matt Czegan sent these photos of his recently completed tool chest. Love the eagle – and the extra detailing on the drawers. I’ve always meant to do something with the panel of my chest’s lid, perhaps a veneered panel or even some parquetry a la Roubo.
Nice work Matt!

Thanks for sharing this, Chris.
Matt you have created a great chest, from the color to the interior to the eagle, extremely well done.

Chris, Thanks for putting up this post. I think builders should post the tool list on the lid as a reminder to limit the “collection fever”.
Matt, fine build. I’ve been using mine for about three years now with some small modifications.
Very nice chest! I love the eagle.
What is the diff between parquetry & marquetry? Thicker wood?
Parquetry is geometric shapes; marquetry is “natural” shapes with curves. If the eagle were inlaid, it would be marquetry. A star shape would be parquetry. Two words for very similar things made in almost exactly the same way.
Beautiful work! 👍👍
i would hope Matt would share his flickr account for us all to follow!
