Custom design for a lady who wanted a display case for her husband’s, sentimental-value Daisy Target Special BB gun and its intact, original box. The height and width were limited to space next to her fireplace. The felt block behind the barrel has a supermagnet in it. The gun stands in a well in the base. Daisy artwork from the internet. All screws are either on undersides or hidden pockets. Front is hinged with magnet catch.

Old age and treachery usually outperforms youth and ambition.

Thanks. The biggest challenge with this was making the box printing visible while having the strap attached and the rifle upright, with a height-and-width-limited design. Here’s a picture of the full sized template I used to design it. The finish is a TransTint mix of Honey Amber and Golden Brown topped off with several coats of satin MinWax Wipe-on Poly.
