Graded Wall Display -- My Attempt

RE: Graded Wall Display -- My Attempt
Couple days behind, but after sanding, and NO FILLER.......this is what that Logan sander did for my miter corners.

Pleased? You betcha.

In progress some more. The 10 card graded case I'm doing is getting clear at this point. This is on 3 coats of Minwax Red Mahogany and it looks wonderful.

I also tried something new. Before, on the piece that gets glued to the acrylic, I was cutting the whole backside out which left an unsightly gap. With this case, I used a VERY sharp razor and made an incision along the base of what's left of the inside piece, thus giving a step to the handle piece. This covers the side edge of the glass and really gives a much cleaner look to the side of the case.

This is the one touch case I'm still staining. I think I just put the 5th and final coat of stain on it. The Minwax Ebony is difficult to get complete coverage quickly, but the more you put on the darker the black gets. This pic below was after the first coat:

These are after either the 5th or 6th coat....I don't remember, lol.

Still have some extra work to do to this one to get the metal in for the magnets in the cases.

Both of these should be done and ready to ship on Wednesday, but I fear delay in shipping due to the impending foot of snow we're supposed to get Tuesday night/wednesday morning.
