Nice display, thanks for sharing.
OP
Thanks! It's really a prototype I guess.
I'm going do the surround with box joints in mahogany as a nod to the presentation cases

Now you need to make another and fill it with Nickel 29's.

It is too small!
OP
I have 8 3/8, 6.5 and 4" nickel 29s… but I have other nickels to fill it with..
I don't see a 29-2 6"
OP
It's on the list… but for now, I'll just have to suffer the shame and OCD symptoms.
I thought the 6.5 would be enough… but no. "Mickey Mantle" is missing from this collection.
And that means a 6" Nickel, too.,,
I didn't want it to be like this…

As you know I'm just starting out so I know exactly what you are going through.

Cover your wooden pins with spent cases. Would look even better
OP
Thought about that. I think we're just going to go with brass to surround the pegs and just cap with black rubber or plastic
Spent cases might look a tad hokey..
Plus, we're going to go with mahogany and box joints as a nod to the presentation cases.
Also, probably a floating board that is raised and maybe an inch and an half smaller than the frame, plus a light stripped wrapped around from the outside so that it can't be seen.
Those 5" ers are pretty special.
Really like the idea and thanks for sharing.

Is that P&R blues or blue P&R'd. Either way it's beautiful! However, you'll likely need more than one display, perhaps additional wall space for the displays.
