This was an original design to display my grandfather's 1893 Winchester 12 gauge shotgun.  I wanted the viewer's eye to be drawn to the gun, but wanted the design to show his strength and my respect.  I used Pocket joinery throughout the project, with an inset of oak at each end.  I don't have a formal shop, so the entire project was constructed at a workbench in my garage.  The finish was a waterbase stain, poly semi-gloss finish, along with hand waxing.  
 

The door has two self locking blind hinges for access.
