Gun Cabinet
Wow! This gun cabinet is made with loving care. More than 400 hours of time was put into the building of it.
All panels and quarter round are handmade. The drawers are made of black walnut throughout. The details included dove-tailed corners, false bottoms, 100 pound full extension drawer slides and the fronts made of one piece of wood, sawed and glued together to get a special look.
The supports to hold the weapons are 2 1/2” thick and 5 1/2” wide solid walnut; cut so barrels are level to limit oil movement. The back has piano-hinged bifold-paneled doors and is completely finished to all 4-sided exposure.
This cabinet is a show piece. Behind the weapons is a lake scene in leaded glass. About 13 square feet of cooper foil in the 3 scenes. The four 18” florescent bulbs back light the day time scene highlighting the massive tree. A mini bulb illuminates sunrise portion and a second mini bulb softly creates a full moonlit night. All have their own switch. Your choice of mix and match.
After assembly, before installing glass and lights, I finished with 2 coats oil throughout, hand sanding with 400 grit, and tack clothed between each coat. I hand rubbed 3 coats of polyurethane.
This piece needs a large room; it weighs approximately 500 pounds.
