Hi, Again!

These cases are the average size for a show exhibit case
and were lovingly made by a master craftsman.  If I
remember rightly, the wood has a slightly reddish tone (it
is NOT oak, but at this point I am not sure which wood it
is).

I do know of one cabinet maker who was selling comparable
cases ten or fifteen years ago for $500 each.  But that
has been a long time, which is why I'm asking now.

Cheers!
Linda
