I've tinkered in the wood shop almost all my life, but I have been making "nice stuff" for only a couple of years. I recently finished a case to display the flag that draped my father-in-law's casket. It is based on a design posted a while back by Charlie Plesums, except I added a 1-1/4" wide face frame with routed edge. I also used 45 deg butt joints at the bottom corners instead of attempting 22-1/2 deg miters. The glass was cut at a local glass shop, and I had the name plaque engraved at a trophy shop.<O:p</O:p
Thanks to Charlie for the design, and to Mark Patoka for the idea about folding the flag around a piece of cardboard. That made it much easier to make the stars come out looking right.<O:p</O:p
I have never posted a picture before, but I'll try, if I can figure out how . . .
