The first step in making a beautiful flag case is to be patient. A forked stick is best to guide the wood when cutting for the best results.
There are also jigs available for cutting. The place will cater to clients who like to make their own cuts. Preparing all the cuts in advance will make the task easier.
Use small trim nails that measure 1.25 inches long then nail the frame. The glass will be placed into the cut grooves.
A brad gun will also make the task more efficient. The frame should be positioned with the glass facing down to avoid breakage just in case it falls out.
The frame should also be positioned on 3/16th oak or loon paneling.
Mark the outer portion of the frame then cut to create the right backing for the display case. The edges can also be stained as you wish. The best product to use for oak is either Early American or Minwax-Colonial.
The 3/16 inch loon can be drilled with 8 holes. On the rear part, insert the screws and the burial flag to be displayed.
This will finish everything for your flag case project.
Make sure you review the guidelines before you start and end.
