I had a few hours this week due to rain and cold so I decided to make a shadow box out of some walnut I had laying around. I finished it up tonight (finish is still wet in picture) and decided to show it off. It wasn't hard making the shadow box but cutting the glass was a bit tricky...just used a lot of bandaids :twirlingeyes:. Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Jr. :clapping: :drool:
The relic is fantastic and the time you spent on displaying it pushes it off the chart.
Well done.

Very nice display. I am always envious of people with talent like you have, put a power tool in my hands and you can just call me stumpy.

Thank you all for the great replies. I plan on making several shadow boxes ( only larger) this winter when the ground is frozen.

Thanks Tim, I had some walnut left over from a mirror frame I made for my living room-- it measures 124 inches by 48 inches and is 8 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick, The mirror and frame weighs in at over 300lbs. It was a chore bolting it to the wall .

Very nice display. I am always envious of people with talent like you have, put a power tool in my hands and you can just call me stumpy.

rofl thats a funny. Its not really hard, just measure twice and cut once....or .. buy a board stretcher.lol
