A project for a client that is an ‘avid’ fly fisherman and wanted a nice place to store and display his fly lures.
The case is white maple and mahogany. Tapered legs. Drawer runners are purple heart. Drawer liners and case bottom is 1/4 inch maple ply. The dividers are mohogany. The lid is quite heavy with 1/4 inch tempered glass and I didn’t have hardware that would support the weight and not look heavy until I was working on my car and the idea of the support came to me. It ‘parks’ in it’s own groove when down. The no mortise hinges are from Lee Valley. The inside drawer liners are a foam like material to ‘set’ the flies when on display.
The measurements are 19.5 w x 15.5 d x 12 h.

That’s going into my favorites! Fantastic. I’ve been thinking along those lines for my knife collection and other small collectibles. Really nice! Do the drawers have inserts, so that the top can be rotated? Looks like that’s what you did.

Awesome work. The design really works for me and I like the contrasting wood. How long did it take to make?

Good job on the interior dividers. I know that had to taken some time, that’s a lot of pieces to keep track of. I’m sure the customer will enjoy it for years.

I don’t know how sensational your client’s fly collection is, but that display case could make anything look stunning!
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful piece. I’m not sure if I could have parted ways with such a great looking project! Fisherman or not, everyone’s gotta love to look at the flies in this.

I now have a use for the left-over tempered glass shelves from that old tube and glass entertainment center I have been hanging onto for the past eight years and three moves! Maybe a display case for all of my marbles… er… Rocks?!
Great craftsmanship and an outstanding idea! Might I borrow?
