Gun display case...

Here is a Display case I recently finished. I thought I'd share since there were lots of router processes on this project... 

In order to keep the cost down I went with Poplar, stained to look like Mahogany. Given that old style lever actions were being displayed, I wanted to keep the look old with the times. Antique brass hardware was used for the hinges, cupboard latch and latches behind the fixed door.

I had to devise a system for leveling the guns (since each one's dimensions are different) without using any modern hardware. I was thinking of a T-Track type of system. See what I came up with.

Enjoy...

I love your gun case, is it for sale??
If it is not for sale what would one cost to make? and would you make one. Its the best Ive seen, just perfection.
Thanks

~Thanks Richard. And sorry, its not for sale. Unfortunately my projects these days are few and far between. You would be better served having a competent local cabinetmaker copy mine.
