This case I built for a donation to a Toys for Tots fundraiser.
Don't mind the mess on the table, we have alot of fundraising stuff going on right now.

Nice job!

Is the back hinged, or is that sliding glass?

The back is held in with 6 z-brackets.

Those are pretty sweet, CJ. I like the use of the tin sign in the back and the cherry is, well, cherry.

Thanks for the pics.

It's funny you ask Jason.
I originally had the crown on top but my wife and son said it look funny, top heavy.
So I turned it the other way. I guess it could really go either way depending on how it was going to be displayed.
The case sold at a fund raising auction for $200.00. The guy that bought it decided to leave it like it was for his knife and arrowhead collection.
