Memorial Case

[Luckbox72]

Made the shadow box as a gift. It is for a memorial flag and the display. It is made of red oak. I cut down a 1"x 6" to rough width then used the cut off and with a locking miter joint attached it to the front to give the me e lip to hold the glass. I then used a couple different router bits to create the front profile. The back is simply a piece of lauan that has been flocked with a black felt. I am just waiting for the glass to finish it.

That came out great, excellent looking miters! What did you use to attach the felt to the plywood?

Good work!

The case looks terrific. Is this for a specific memorial? What kind of finish did you put on the oak?

I used the flocing kit you get form Rockler, or woodcraft, they are the same. Just used the black adhesive with the black flock, let it sit for a day then flipped it over to get rid of the excess, let is sit for a week to cure, then tapped it to get the lose fibers off. I used a pre stain and then early American to darken it then three coats of poly. Thanks for the heads up on the glass.
