H.O. Studley managed to arrange -- with perfection -- more than 250 of his tools into a dovetailed mahogany cabinet that has captivated tens of thousands of woodworkers since it was first unveiled in 1988 on the back cover of Fine Woodworking with a single shocking photograph. After a brief stay at the Smithsonian, the cabinet was sold to a private collector and hasn't been seen by the public for well over a decade. Studley's workbench has never been on public view. For the last four years, Donald Williams and a team of supporting characters has been researching, documenting and photographing both the cabinet and Studley's equally amazing workbench to create "Virtuoso: The Tool Cabinet and Workbench of Henry O. Studley." This book is the first in-depth examination of one of the most beautiful woodworking tool chests ever constructed and presents the first-ever biography of Studley (1838-1925), a piano and organ builder in Quincy, Mass.
