Solid cherry wood was used to make this custom fit shadowbox made to hold and display a special collection of vintage rolling pins. Two wooden pegs per pin were set to fit each size rolling pin. The color of stain selected was chosen to match the kitchen cabinets. The groove inside was measured to be exactly the width of the glass which slides in and sits on the bottom on the case. The case had to be one which is solidly built in order to hold the weight of the rolling pins so I plan to attach it directly to
the wall- though it could be mounted in a couple of different ways. It could sit on a shelf, or two smaller and more light weight shadowboxes could have been made to hang more like heavy-weight picture frames.
The overall purpose of this project was to make an attractive and protective shadowbox to compliment the contents which it houses. The box's solid and sturdy construction is built to blend into the surrounding kitchen cabinets so as not to detract from the collection itself.
