The woods are African Satinwood and Bubinga. Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 3:26 pm that's absolutely beautiful! Did you make the frame or have it made? If you had it made where did you get that done. It is so lovely! Report this Post to the Staff
jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 3:29 pm Made the frame - my other hobby is woodworking. It's about $150.00 in materials and about 25 hours labor. Plus about $80.00 for the Capital Plastics holder. Thanks for the compliment! Edited by jgfindring 03/16/2009 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 3:33 pm wow! you are very talented! If I had a type set I would love to see it like that. You should have an online framing business for those. I bet you would get a lot of business. Can you make frames like that that are smaller? What about the actual insert that the coins are held in with the description? Did you make that too? Report this Post to the Staff
jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 3:36 pm No, the insert holding the coins is a Capital Plastics holder, got it from CoinExpress.com. Could make wood frames like that in any size though. Report this Post to the Staff
malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 3:39 pm I buy glass frame boxes to hold some of my coins but I am in love with how yours can be opened to see both sizes. You did a wonderful job! Report this Post to the Staff
rkp Valued Member United States 254 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 4:07 pm Wow, very cool idea and excellent woodworking skills! If I recall correctly, you also made that beautiful coin table drawer with the mahogany wood sunburst pattern. Truly amazing craftsmanship! Report this Post to the Staff

malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 6:22 pm amazing! I love that little cabinet too! May I ask how much that was in supplies and labor? Report this Post to the Staff

jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 6:57 pm The small cabinet (actually about 20" x 20" and 30" high) probably was about $100 in materials (mostly oak instead of fancy woods like the type set holder) but about 40 hours labor because of the fancy veneering. Inside is lined with black velour with two shelves and is used to store roll boxes, 2x2 boxes, proof sets and such. Under the glass top are surplus darkside coins. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 7:09 pm As with everyone else, fantastic wood in that cabinet. Really nice graining. I think I like that more than the coins. Nice contrast in the woods from the overall frame to the cabinet and the swing out is not apparent as with hidden hinges or something. You should really look into making those for buisness purposes and forget about the coin stuff. Family photos, hidden jewlery, stacks of currency, stock certificates, etc. Oh yeah, great for coins too. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/16/2009 7:10 pm are you planning on upgrading those barber and standing liberty coins? The only reason I ask is those are the only ones that look circulated in the whole set and would bother the heck out of me and just wondered if it bothered you as well. I guess I want all my coins to all look close to the same condition and wonder if anyone else feels this way or am I just to anal Report this Post to the Staff
