I wanted a display cabinet for my acoustics that would also somewhat control the humidity in the dry winters here in the Northeast.
I started with a cabinet grade mahogany plywood case

The top is mahogany trimmed with shedua. Shedua is an African hardwood that is golden brown with chocolate brown grain.

The finished cabinet. The doors are made out of shedua and use the grain to accent the detail.

With the doors open you can really see the ribbon stripe figure in the mahogany

I installed black hangers so they would all but disappear. There are recessed lights on both sides of the cabinet and in the top.

Each guitar has a brace built for it to hold it out at the correct angle. The front of the braces are covered with cork to protect the finish on the guitars

I made custom grates to go over humidification devices built into the bottom of the case. They will ensure that the humidity inside the case stays stable through the winter.
