Flag Box

Very nice! The continuous grain is a nice show of craftsmanship… I like the curly maple, really sets it off. Great job!

Great job ryno – I agree with Steve that continuous grain really looks nice

It is so perfect that I thought it was another Google SketchUp drawing. Nice! I’m making one for my Grandpa-in-law’s 91st B-day. We’re going to the USS Missouri for Pearl Harbor Day with him. I like the two-tone. Nice touch.

Really nice, Ryno…

Is that a glass top, or is it open?

Fantastic craftsmanship, those joints look great!

-- Ryno

It has a glass front and the flag goes in from the back. I took some advice and edited all the background from the pictures. It was a little too much work though, just to put the pics on. Thanks for the great compliments.

Beautiful job, I need to make one of these too! I’ve been putting it off for some time now… I think I will follow your lead.

Did you follow any plans? I need to make one of these.

gizmodyne, I did find a set of plans on a site but I didn’t like the way it was made so I just took the rough measurements off of that one and made the rest mine. There are several different sizes of flags so you have to be careful on measurements.

It’s beautiful. Very nice work.

I need to make one, too. After 9-11 I wrote a congressman to request a flag be flown over the Capitol to honor the Police and Firefighters that lost their lives. It is just sitting in a box now, and I’d like to display it with its certificate.

That would be a great story about the flag to go along with your flag box. I hope it turns out good.
