This tool chest is at the Smithsonian Institution. Here is their description:
The rich detailing of this chest celebrates the woodworking skills of Henry Studley, the chest's owner and maker, and communicates the devotion he felt to his trade. The symbols of Freemasonry inside the chest reveal Studley to have been a dedicated member of the Masonic Lodge.
Henry O. Studley (1838-1925) built this magnificent wall-hung chest while employed by the Poole Piano Company of Quincy, Massachusetts. He probably obtained materials for the chest from the firm's scrap mahogany, walnut, ebony, ivory, and mother-of-pearl.
The elegant but efficient design protects the tools from damage and permits them to be identified and selected quickly.
Macassar Ebony and Rosewood Plough Plane with Ivory tips

The beauty of the ebony isn't really captured in these pictures. There are reddish streaks that can barely be seen here.
I over lightened the first image to make the streaks somewhat more visible.
Also note the main part of the fence is rosewood while the arms and nuts are boxwood or satinwood.
