Large Carved Walnut Display Stand

Roger asked if I would custom make a walnut stand with the Randall carving to hold his RMK Nordic Bowie.

Roger's statement...

"Dale, Took this today, plan to take some more later. The stand really is
beautiful (also love your cases).
Talk to you soon.
Roger"

About these displays...

The overall dimensions: 41 1/2" tall x 23 1/2" wide x 2 3/4" deep

Doug chose the old barn wood because of the look and the history behind it. This wood is hundreds of years old and cut from trees that were ranging in age from saplings to 100 year old trees at the time Columbus came to America in the late 1400's. They stood strong and undisturbed for centuries before being felled to build a barn in the 1800's. Doug waited patiently for 2 of these displays to be custom built to his size requirements for his Bowie collection. He currently has one more on order to complete the set.

Doug's statement...

"Hi Dale, The display boxes arrived today, and they are beautiful! They made the trip unscathed, and I'm now in the process of arranging the Bowies on them. I think I'm going to go with a random arrangement instead of placing them horizontally in a vertical row. My Wife suggested laying them with the side up that shows any I.D. or other markings (several of them have this). I've already found that some of the knives look better with the points slightly up, some with the points slightly downward and some are better laying almost horizontal. Another
interesting discovery is that I can lay an expensive limited production knife next to a relatively inexpensive production knife and they both look great! I think the display box does that. I'm having too much fun!"

"The Texas Bowies will no doubt be the stars of my collection, but I've
found that even my most modest production knives deserve a place in the display boxes, and they look good to boot! I think you said it all when you described the customer display section on your website as "fun." My Bowie displays are in the hallway that leads out to the garage, and I walk by them constantly. I'm always stopping to admire them, and sometimes I take one down to enjoy it for a minute. These knives have been in a drawer for the last couple of years, but now they are "out" for all to see."

"Thanks again, I'm really happy with
the barnwood and the way the display boxes came out.

All the best!"

Thanks Doug for choosing Dorris Displays for your collection. They look great! I enjoyed working with you on the design, and thanks for the photos to share.

About the cabinet...

The overall dimensions: 27 1/2" tall x 22 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" deep, Oak, 7 knife, alternating directions.

Kurt wasn't sure of the layout configuration upon ordering the cabinet. So he decided to have us supply the antler knife "rests" and install them himself. Several customers have done this in the past, as it allows them to lay out their knives in various configurations before committing to one. Locating and drilling the holes himself, Kurt then mounted the antler rests with the screws provided for an overall fantastic look.

Good job Kurt!

Kurt's statement...

(Kurt's father was a knife maker) "I'm lucky enough to have some of his knives he has made and want to display them right. I have been looking since he passed away (5 years now) for the right case, and you have it."

Thanks Kurt for those kind words. May you enjoy your collection, up on the wall where you can see it, for many years to come.

About this cabinet...

This one was custom built for Randy using walnut for his wood choice, and black velvet on the back. It is a Double Door model designed to hold 30 knives, and measures 36" tall x 32" wide. The rests are located at 2 1/8" apart vertically, and at the standard width of 5" apart horizontally. The right door has two high quality sliding barrel locks (one at the top & one at the bottom) to lock that door in place first. The keyed lock is then installed on the left door.

Randy's statement...

"The cabinet has arrived! Just getting back from a biz trip, my friendly UPS driver neatly put my treasure in the secret spot. Opened it up as
soon as I got in, happily spilling white peanuts all over the living room floor. It looks fantastic!

Your diligence to the detail is much appreciated. That's the reason that I decided to make the purchase through you rather than someone else.
Thanks much Dale for living up to your end of the bargain. It really looks great... Can't wait to adorn with edged weapons!"
Randy, - Los Angeles, CA

Thank you Randy, and thanks for the photos!
