I have been too busy to take the next step pictures of the flag case but it is close to being finished. I really like how it turned out. I left blemishes and encourage the knots to show as I wanted it to look like a craftsman piece rather than a perfect work with lots of machinery. As the person who asked me to do this said, "I could buy one at Hobby Lobby but a personally made one by my brother's friend would be better."
I had to solve a lot of my engineering problems that develop when one refuses to use a power router. I need to work on the back piece next then I should be done.
I installed the glass last night and the inserts to hold onto the back door. I will need to buy gold metal pieces to hold the door closed. I put about 5 coats of paste wax on it last night and it really makes it smooth to touch. I will have more pictures soon.
Thanks for stopping by today.

I shared this lovely flag case with John today. It really turned out beautifully. We also thoroughly enjoyed looking through your wife's paintings. You both are very talented.
