Doll Display

My wife loves dolls. So for Christmas I found a little porcelain doll that sits on a small wooden swing.
She immediately started asking when I was going to build a display case for it.
After some thought I have two separate ideas for it, and I have yet to completely commit to either one. But I did get the wood for it which you can see in the picture.
Because this is an expensive doll, I am the top and bottom of the display case is being made of two pieces of 1X8 red oak that have been joined together using biscuits. So that I can make the finished dimensions of the project
16 inches X 14 inches. This will allow me to a 1/2 inch clearance between the outer edge of the top and bottom and the Plexiglas that will eventually encase the doll. Yes it is kind of a large doll, so I had to allow for the dress and the fact that she is sitting and not standing.
In any case, as I work on this project and determine how I am actually going to finish it, I will keep you all informed. If I had all the materials, I could actually knock this out in a day or two. But I do not have everything and being unemployed at the moment I can not just jump up and buy things.
For now I will leave it here, and post the picture of the wood to be used.
Regards and keep the sawdust flying!
