Here is my brother-in-law Geppetto's latest creation. I asked for something to display my 1911 silver Spalding medal and this is what he came up with. Much better than lying flat on a shelf.

Does anyone else have display creations to share?

Nice John.
Seeing your brother in laws skill with woodworking, I have to ask. Did Gepetto also make a wooden boy? (Sorry, I had to)

My item is a 1929 foul ball of the bat of Gehrig. I bought it with the display case, but it is very well done.

Great display John,

Simple, elegant, and truly makes the medal the focal point of the piece...

I feel people over do it with displays of this type, and it takes ones eye off of the item that is meant to be viewed...

Great job and great piece! Thank you for sharing.
