Golf Ball Display Case

[rnt80]

Here's what I've been working on for the last couple of weeks.  It's for a repeat client that has a wealth of golf balls that he'd like to display.  I've used the Domino extensively in this project thus far.  The corners of the cases are mitered and will be held together with dominos.  The shelves that hold the balls will be held in place with dominos as well.  I decided to domino the face frames too.  I usually pocket screw them but using the domino was just as easy and fast and I liked the idea of cutting down on mechanical fasteners.  I'm outsourcing the crown and it should be here any day now.  More pics when I get it all done.

rnt80,
Thanks for posting your project!  It's great to have variety and ideas we haven't seen before.

But you know what I'm going to say next, right?

We need more photos!  Tell us how you planned this, and the steps towards putting it all together.  Show some photos of the project in action.  Even better, if you could add some more drawings of your plans, that would be amazing.

Actually, maybe we should encourage everyone to post drawings and plans of their projects?

Thanks again for sharing.

Stay in touch,
Matthew

I forgot to post pics of the finished project.  I installed this about a few weeks ago.  The crown is a composite and was a bear to finish.  I had never attempted to stain composite molding before and I tried 3 or 4 different things before I settled on starting with a base coat of light brown toner and then using van dyke brown glaze on top of that.  I finished it by brushing on some black glaze to give it the effect of graining.

That turned out spectacularly!! So will the balls just sit on the tees? You guys don't regularly get earthquakes or tremors out that way, do you?

The effort you went through to finish this was well worth it, it looks great.

Thanks guys.  I was please with the way the finish on the crown eventually turned out.  It certainly was a learning process getting to that point.
