Hi all.
I thought I'd post some pics of the gun cabinet I delivered earlier this month. It is 4/4 maple with a light stain and Minwax polyurethane to match some other furniture and the overall "log cabin" theme. The doors are 5/4 with half-laps at the corners. The panels are 1/2" solid glued-up maple. The top of the base and the top of the top are solid, glued-up 8/4 maple. The Euro-hinges are Blum and the drawer slides are full-extension Accuride with 100# capacity. The door ring-pulls are oil-rubbed bronze that are recessed into the door frame. The back is copper-colored tin ceiling panels. The barrel rest is not up tight against the tin to allow the light from the three recessed LED pucks to "wash down" the back with light to set off the guns. The butt rest holes are lined with thick, suede leather. It holds 10 guns.
I delivered it's "twin" to another customer this past Friday. He was very pleased and thought about sleeping in it that night!
Enjoy. I'd be happy to answer any questions.

. We considered many ideas for the back including brushed stainless, and plain copper sheets, but arrived at the ceiling tin after much deliberation. And all four doors do lock - but this was more to "kid-proof" the cabinet than too deter burglars - a burglar would at least have to break the glass to gain access to the guns!
