Here’s a look at a personalized retirement gift we finished earlier in the month. It’s a Military Chest with Shadowbox and 3×5’ Flag display on the lid.
We added cork and felt on the lid so the recipient can add medals, pins, badges and more on either side of the flag display. We’ve built this chest from solid Pine, measuring 24 x 12-3/4 x 11-3/4″ inches tall. The box was stained in a dark color, and personalized with a matted black felt on the lid.
We then closed the lid and the shadowbox with plexiglass – as it provides great strength during shipping and storage
As far as personalization details, we added gold colored corners, along with gold hardware such as hinges and latches.
As a lid support – to hold the lid open – we added a repurposed leather strap.
On the outside of the lid we added the recipient’s rank and name, using the Military stencil font.
We really like the way this chest came out and can’t wait to show you guys what we’re working on next. 😉
