this is a baseball display case i made for a coworker to showcase a commemorative bat his little league team gave him. its made of solid walnut with maple splines to reinforce the lid.the case is box jointed. the lid has a magnet catch with 1/8" plexiglass. size is 39"l x 6-1/2"w x 6"d. finish is my standard oil finish with a final coat of wax. pic's are not the best,this was done about 8 years ago.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
steve-thanks. well i do love my coco but walnut is very much one of my favs also.
mike-thanks buddy. actually unless it's real hot i tend to keep it closed more due to being in an alley. too many opportunists shall i say scrounging for whatever they can find.

Nice build Pottz. I think the photos came out fine. Great shop. Like my friend once said. "A locked door keeps an honest man honest. You could sell those. I'll bet there is a big demand for bat display cases.
thanks james. yeah a lot of people want or need em but dont wanna pay for the quality. too many cheap ones available. i had also made a ball display case for his son.all the parents of the other players saw it and wanted one,until they found out what it would cost !
