Very nice – a super idea and execution. He’ll be very proud of it I’m sure!

Looks great, gives me the idea to do one for my mother-in-law for my father-in -laws things from his service. Thanks for your service too.

Great job and welcome aboard. I would love to have the measurements of that box. I have to build a flag for my aunt to house the flag and medals for my recently deceased uncle who was retired from the Navy. I have seen several cases, but really like that design best. Just a rough sketch with measurements will do fine. Thanks.

Very nice job. I like it. The only thing I see wrong is that when the flag is folded like that you shouldn’t see anything but the blue field and the stars. Bravo Zulu

bamasawduster—Watch the measurements. Interment flags are a different size (5’ x 9.5’) than most ceremonial or retirement flags (4’ x 6’).

Senior, that is an awesome shadow box. I’ve seen and made a few, but that is definitely a one of a kind.

Nice looking box!

You are all very kind! I thank you sincerely.

Dudley, You are absolutely correct, Sir, the flag is not properly folded. It is, however, folded exactly the way the customer wanted it and ultimately, that’s what I ended up going with. I won’t even begin to tell you the taboo-ness of other things he wanted done with the flag!

I just retired from the Navy on the 31st of July so maybe I can actually start building the myriad of things rattling around in my head. Like my own shadow box :) After I finish that 21st century workbench beast..

-- Mistake? No, that's just an unexpected design opportunity....

very nice, and a great wood choice!
