Beautiful Job, Chief!
I really like the cove piece on the bottom. Did you make that on the table saw?

Lew,
Besides the beads on the top I made everything on the tablesaw and used scrapers to refine the curves and remove the tool marks.

Billy,
Looks great! I thought mine was big, but that is a lot to hang on the wall. Beautiful work.

Alistar, A shadow box is a display case used to show/display memorabilia. It could be military, childhood activities, sporting items, or anything you want. In the end, it keeps all the dust at one place.

Damn Senior! Now that is what I call a shadow box! I am on my third one this year (unfortunately) and I must say your design is one to think about trying. Funny to see how many of us sailors are really on here! Thanks for the post and keep up the excellent craftsmanship! Fair winds and following seas! Also proper definition of a Shadow Box.
A shadow box is an enclosed case used in dioramas with a scene or object(s), that has been specially designed to let light pass through from only one angle, so that objects within are less susceptible to damage from light.
They are typically presented to members of the military upon retirement. These shadow boxes will usually contain the various medals and awards a person has earned through a military career, the flag of both their country and military service, and their final badge of rank.
In the United States, some companies specialize in the construction and sale of shadow boxes. Price can range from just a few dollars to several hundred. People often purchase these in order to preserve, and still enjoy memorabilia. A similar case, called the uniform display case, displays an entire uniform with correct insignia placement
