Just finished a new wood project and thought I'd share some pics with the group, get some feedback. It's a display case for a chess set a friend of mine has. He's had it for years but it's been in a box because he didn't have anywhere to show it off, so he asked me to put something together for him. Took way too long to finish but it was educational. Tell me what you think.

Nice work. Display cases are fun to make.

I built one for my dad's gun collection in high school.

I clearly saw "Cheese" in the title and not "Chess". :)
