Wood to avoid using when building a tool box/cabinet

[phil harold]

Any woods that increase the chance of corrosion or staining?

I have the choice of cherry, oak, black walnut, ash, and pine

thanks!

Of those, oak has the most chance of staining, and would certainly be the heaviest box/cabinet.

You could do cherry or walnut for the primary wood and pine for the secondary.

Myk Rian: very nice tool chest! Your own design? Or, made from plans?

Adapted from Shopnotes #49 vol 9.
Theirs was too fancy, and made of maple.
I added the bottom drawer.
