A friend ask me if I could make a pair of display cases. They were needed for a birthday gift. I had one nice piece of African Mahogany that I knew would look good.

I drew a full scale model with some paper cutouts to represent the items going in the case. After planing and cutting out the side frames, I mortised for some glass panels.

I decided to use glass for the side panels to let in some additional light. The glass is from Kokomo Opalescent Glass, where they mix art glass by hand.

With the glass fitted up and allowed a bit of float...the frames were glued and clamped.

Continuing on...

Back panels in place...

A final glue up...

An there it is! (the horses are not full scale)
