Homemade glass faced revolver presentation case.
I made this for my father-in-law on Christmas Eve. The side where the miters aren’t as tight comes off so he can get his beloved Virginian Dragoon 357 out if he ever actually plans to shoot it. The gun has seen plenty of action but I don’t think he’s put a round down range through it in at least three years. Once I get my hands on six lead bullets I’ll swap them out with the ones I have in it now and tighten the side up a bit.
It was a pretty straight forward build, 3/4” oak sides channeled out for both the 1/4” base and glass. The inch and a half foam was cut with an exacto knife after I traced the gun.
He loves it and it should look great on his trophy case.
Thanks for looking and any comments or feedback, good or bad, are always welcome.

Re: Glass faced revolver presentation case.
I'd cover the foam with felt but other than that sweet.

Felt is a little stiff. Try a piece of red satin. Don't need to glue, just drape it in and wrap the ends over the foam.
And yes, very nice case.Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges

Re: Glass faced revolver presentation case.
Looks great, nice job.
I have a question though. Will the foam, or material, touching the bluing, cause spotting? If you leave a gun in a soft case for an extended period of time, it causes freckling, due to the change in temperature and humidity.
