Graded Wall Display -- My Attempt
|
Just finished this one up (glad too because I had to stop all the others I'm working on while I did the clear coat on this one so as to not kick up any dust or anything). But man, mahogany wood and cabernet stain make a WONDERFUL coloration combination (I used a dyed black wood filler on the mahogany to get the really good grain contrast). This one is heading to a fellow who's putting a "COWBOYS" letterman set into it. PERFECT if you ask me.

Awesome as usual!
Sent two more frames out this past week.
This one is for 30 (gasp) PSA cards in 3 rows of 10: ![[Image: DSC_1584_zps8d62e991.jpg]](http://s72.photobucket.com/user/Fastbird93/media/Cases/Christopher%2030%20PSA%20Black/DSC_1584_zps8d62e991.jpg.html) This one is for 8 BGS cards in the top row, and 3 rows of 9 One Touch Magnetic holders below it. First combination case I've done. ![[Image: DSC_1579_zps324fd8e2.jpg]](http://s72.photobucket.com/user/Fastbird93/media/Cases/Dylan%20Combo%20BGS%20and%20One%20Touch%2035/DSC_1579_zps324fd8e2.jpg.html) Finishing a 42 card one touch case (6 rows of 7 cards) and a 25 card BGS case (5x5) right now. Those are my LAST black ones. Just too time consuming and takes entirely too long to complete. Starting a 25 card 5x5 One Touch case shortly, which will be done in Natural stain. Will post up when I get moving on that.
Hmmm.....due to some kind of change, I can't get the gloss black polyshades I use for the black frames anymore, and had to resort to satin to finish these two I'm working on. And I must admit, the satin black is actually VERY attractive.

It just stretches out the build time entirely too long unless I resort to using a spray paint and laquer top coat which is FAR less durable than the polyurethane I currently use.
Well, this is interesting. The gentleman who's getting the 42 card 1 touch case, saw the satin, and said "leave it as satin." I think it's going to look amazing. Should have it done around the end of the week, and the gloss one will be a couple weeks more as the poly lays up slow and thin.
Wow. It's not done, but wow. I know I said I wasn't doing black anymore, but this flat black is the shi.........it's cool.

This one's just about done:

From left to right: A 4 wide by 5 high BGS case for myself out of Mahogany to be done in cabernet (red) stain. A 7 wide by 8 high BGS case for myself out of Maple to be done in natural stain. A 5 wide by 5 high One Touch case for a customer, to be done in natural stain. A 5 wide by 4 high One Touch case and a 3 wide by 2 High One Touch case for a customer, both to be done in red mahogany stain.
Man, these cases are amazing. I'd love to put an order in for one soon. You ship to Canada?
I do, but it can get expensive quick depending on case size.
