    Figured Red Oak (Curly Oak)

    Sometimes this stuff is hard to get a hold of. It's much rarer to find than say figured maple(tiger maple). It's got that classic oak color with the vertical striping
    Looks much nicer than I had anticipated.

            The Most Beautiful Business Card Holders You'll Find

            We are in the process of building inventory on these, and they are available in all the woods we use for our cases, plus some rare and nor-so-rare burls, What is a burl you ask?
            A burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress. It may be environmental or introduced by humans. Most burls grow beneath the ground, attached to the roots as a type of malignancy that is generally not discovered until the tree dies or falls over. Such burls sometimes appear as groups of bulbous protrusions connected by a system of rope-like roots. Almost all burl wood is covered by bark, even if it is underground. Insect infestation and certain types of mold infestation are the most common causes of this condition.

            Here are pics of one of our business card holders
            This one is made from a Madrone Burl. My wood supplier does not have a
            source for Madrone burl pieces anymore, so I bought up what I could and have
            a pretty descent supply. I'm still figuring out the pricing structure for these
            and will be taking pre-orders soon.

                    Hi Rik,
                    Thank you for the interest in our cases, and yes I use real glass, double strength standard glass, plexiglass and plastics scratch way too easy, just from cleaning or dusting and if it get's too scratched it's a pain to replace it, about the same time invested as is to make a new one. International orders have the option of being sent with no glass, discounted of course, because the risk of shipping damage to the glass. I have sent to Australia this way and soon to Denmark.

                    The padding set up consists of 2 parts
                    1. filler foam 1 inch thick
                    2. foam backed felt 1/8 inch thick.

                    The filler is a polyurethane foam and the felt has a similar makeup if I'm not mistaken. I buy this from another case vender so I don't have a chemical
                    make-up sheet for it, but I can say that I have used this type of foam and felt for over 10 year without a problem whatsoever.

                    I hope this answers you questions and if you any others or I need to elaborate
                    some more please don't hesitate to ask.
                    Thanks again and hope to talk to you soon.

                      Nice!!!

                      Dave:

                      Dave, your display cases are absolutely beautiful and finely crafted. I used to do a lot of woodworking and built a number of cases similar to yours. There is a lot of work that goes into making these! The care shown in your process is evident.

                      Something to consider.....when cases like this are hung on the wall, only the narrow (i.e. top/face) dimension of wood is most visible. With such beautiful, exotic woods it seems a shame not to have larger dimensions of the wood visible when cases are wall hung. Have you thought about producing display cases with more complex shapes and which show more wood surface when hung? OR....desktop/self supporting multi-sided units? T he more surface area of these amazing woods which is exposed for "head on" viewing, the better in my opinion! OF course obvious these are my mental ramblings ...I know that design and manufacture of complex mitres is more difficult/time consuming (translation: expensive). But you're obviously no hack weekend woodworker.

                      Will you work with a customer in the design/deviate from the standard "rectangular" shape on a special order basis?

                      Again - beautiful work and thanks for sharing. What a great combination - woodworking and militaria!

                        Hi Shawn,
                        First off thanks for the compliments.

                        Your right, expense is a huge factor in this, the main goal is to make them as nice and as affordable as possible, very thin margins. The design we have is a
                        wrap-around design so the grain flows from one corner all the way around back to that corner plus split between top and bottom, If we turned the face grain to show on top it wouldn't match the bottom of the case, however we have started making picture frames and in that design the face grain is what shows because there is no bottom to match.
                        I am working on table top mounts for them because not every case we make is set up for hanging, the customer needs to specify with us if they want eyelets installed, but if it's not hung, it still need to be propped up somehow.

                        As for custom shapes, we have no plans on getting into that quite yet. We are a very new business, but as we get more established and more shop space anything is possible. We are slowly increasing our product line so one day perhaps.

                        Thanks for the suggestions, keep 'em coming. Never hurts to have new ideas
                        and different perspectives. The best ideas sometimes comes from someone other than yourself.

                        Thanks again
                        Dave
