Just finished another commissioned Telescope Eyepiece Case for a customer. This case was designed to hold three 1.25" eyepieces and two 2.00" eyepieces.
The customer requested all Purple Heart in the build, only exception to that is the Maple splines at each corner. I usually use 1/4" ply for the bottom panel, in this case, I kept with the customer's request and made a floating bottom panel out of Purple Heart that was 1/2" thick
I decided to finish this case with Watco Natural Danish oil, followed by buffing the finish with tripoli compound, followed by white diamond compound, and finished the process with Carnuba wax.
