Vietnam vet shadow box

This was the first shadow box I ever built. I made this one for ny Dad who was in Vietnam. He did not have anything like this so I felt compeled to make one for him. It was my way of saying thanks as I am in the military also. I also learned from this shadow box that teak is not that easy to work with my skill set at that time. But it came out nice and survived a trip from San Diego to Florida on a plane as a carry on. I did not run into hard times until we tried to hang it on the wall and it fell off. Luckily it broke two of the joints but not the glass. We were able to save it and get it back together and we hanged it better the second time. The picture of me and my Dad was after we fixed it and you can tell I was not a happy camper. But it did all work out in the end and it gave us memories I will never forget.
