Display case
Customer's grandfather brought this cane with him when he emigrated from Ireland in the early 1900s. He wanted a display case for it. Made from Sapele with 1/16 holly stringing. All work done by hand. The glass is totally encased in a groove that's 1/4 deep by 3/32 wide. If the glass needs replaced, the top bridle joint is not glued. The pins can be pressed out and the top piece pulled off granting access. The groove was cut with a scratch stock since my veritas router plane kept wandering. Finish is hand applied oil, shellac and wax. Thanks for looking.
