Artifact Display Cases

[WDH]

I had a customer that wanted eight display cases to house his collection of Native American projectile points.  I made them from black walnut that I had left over from other projects.  They are 12" wide x 18" long x 3" deep, and the top has glass so that you can view the contents of the cases.  I routed some beads on the top frame that holds the glass to give them some shadow lines.  The inside is rigid foam covered in black felt.  Not the best quality photo, but you get the idea. 



 

I made one huge mistake.......I should have kept them for myself  .

Pretty slick Danny.....I know this was time consuming, but it turned out nice!
$300.00 ?  ;D

[WDH]

$300 each ???.  I wish.  I did sell them too cheap.  Why do I always do that  :-\. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

Why do I always do that  :-\.

Because you are an Artifact  just a nice guy. 

[isawlogs]

 You need to get Poston to do the racketering marketering for you, you could be retiring again soon.  ;D

Looking good, pard, we seem to under sell our work, but there is that joy of creating something.

[julio]

you need to find suckers not clients  8) :D

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

WDH, do these have hangers on the back or do they lay flat?

[Mooseherder]

He must have one huge collection.  Very nice work.

[thecfarm]

What you lack in photo skills,you made up in woodworking skills.

[beenthere]

They look great. Maybe a pic or two in the future with the points showing.  ;)

[Magicman]

Very nice.  Need more Walnut??   ;D

[isawlogs]

 The golden rectangle is always nice to look at. 

[WDH]

Marcell,

You are a stylish man  ;D.

They are made to lay flat.  I also have an extensive collection of artifacts, but I do not have any artifact display cases.  Maybe I can get somebody here to make me some  :D.

BTW, I have one less projectile point in my collection.  Jeff used it in building my website  ;D.

[21incher]

Very nice job. Would love to see a picture with the projectiles placed in their new home.

[WDH]

Well, I will have to make some more then.  These are gone on to their new home.

Poston will do it. And as a special favor he'll only charge $299.99 per case.

:D :D :D :D :D :D

I need some cases too.

Nice heads Magic. Not chipped up like our field heads.

There used to be an old Timer that had a farm 5 miles from us. He showed us an old Indian camp that was close to a big creek on his farm.
There was a certain place he called an "Aw S--t circle. He had picked up 100's of arrowhead pieces.
He said, in this camp, this was the place where they actually made the arrowheads. When they would attempt to make a new head, sometimes they would break one or mess one up some how. The Indians would just throw it 10 foot or so and say...."Aw S--t!" and attempt to make another one. He also found some pottery pieces.
This was about 40 years ago.

We had those stone circles in my grand dads fields.  I would walk behind the plow and pick them up.

[thecfarm]

The only thing I use to pick up behind a plow was rocks. Or worms if going fishing.  ;D

[WDH]

MM,

I cringe to see those points loose in that butter container.  They can chip very easily when they get jostled around with each other or they get stirred up  :-\. 

You need some cases, bad.  I would hit Dodgy Loner up for some cases.  He owes you  .

I was hired on a job to help finish the carpenters house.
