Description
5×8 Certificate Flag Case frames can be sized to hold any document. The standard size is usually 8×10 or 8.5×11. My frame can be made to hold a document either in a horizontal or vertical position. Greg can size the window to hold a photo, or provide a fabric covered foam back for attaching pins, medals and other memorabilia. A hollow base allows for storage of personal items or memorabilia that is concealed from view. The extra thick slab on the bottom of the box allows for a 1×4 plaque application.
My Standard Plate Glass is included in the price for all shadow boxes and flag cases. I offer several options for glass including UV protective and Museum Non-Glare. All are a good choice and your selection should depend on the environment in which your Flag Case or Shadow Box will be subject. All glass is crystal clear and easy to maintain!
All flag cases are hand made and are a wonderful family heirloom.
Hardwoods
- Special Notice Regarding Walnut:
Strong demand and over harvesting has led to a very real shortage of high quality, dark walnut boards throughout the U.S.. Long lengths of clear lumber, and wider planks are becoming more scarce, with quality logs being harvested for veneer, or export. The result has been boards of narrow width, shorter lengths, with defects such as knots or splits, closer together, and Sapwood being quite prevalent on one face, if not more. I am making an attempt to utilize as much of each board as possible, while creating a product that shows off the natural beauty of this precious material, and wasting as little as possible. Therefore, I am offering walnut as a choice of 2 different “Grades” defined here.
Grade A: Solid Walnut Hardwood with minimal visible sapwood on the exterior of the case. 50% Sapwood will be acceptable for the interior of the box, positioned facing the back side of the case. This material will come at a premium.
Grade B; Solid Hardwood with minimal sapwood. 20% Sapwood will be acceptable for the Exterior of the box, positioned facing the back of the box.
80% sapwood will be acceptable for the Interior of the case, oriented facing the rear of the box. A slight streak of sapwood may be visible on the face of the box. This walnut will be offered at a lower price. Your purchase of a “Grade B walnut case allows me to use more of the Sapwood without throwing out viable material…it also DOES NOT mean you will receive a box that has lots of sapwood in it! In fact it’s highly likely that there will be very little visible conspicuously…you are just allowing me to use these boards more thoroughly.
• A Special Note Regarding Cherry:
Cherry is a hardwood with a Light Red /Brown color and a Fine Grain Pattern. With exposure to light and oxygen, Cherry Hardwood will develop a Patina and darken dramatically over time. You will notice after as little as 30 days that the cherry wood has darkened. Cherry will eventually become a medium/dark reddish brown color on its own. I do not stain these beautiful woods to make a color. Take a look and contact me if you have questions!
