[QUOTE="RichJD13, post: 1075942, member: 86795"] I was contacted by a member of the forum here to make him a custom display shadow box for his "retired" rifle and shot gun. Well I FINALLY got started on the displays, and I figure I'll post some pictures on here so he can see the progress as it's made. Heres the basic concept of what I'm making. These boxes are a little different, and one a bit more intricate, but the concept is basically the same to give y'all an idea: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20141123/b_200314.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20141123/b_200258.jpg[/IMG] Cut dados for splines to joint the curly maple and walnut for the rifle background: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/r90_b_111504.jpg[/IMG] Cut splines: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_111453.jpg[/IMG] Joining maple and walnut: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_113529.jpg[/IMG] Glued, clamped and drying: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_114443.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/r90_b_121404.jpg[/IMG] A little mineral spirit to preview what it'll look like: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_151526.jpg[/IMG] Backboard glued and rough sanded: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_181930.jpg[/IMG] Shotgun backboard planed and rough sanded: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_122154.jpg[/IMG] Finish sanded with some mineral spirits: [IMG]http://media1000.dropshots.com/photos/1265825/20150416/b_134522.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
