This was built as a wedding gift for a good friend.
The lower section and racks are hard maple. The lower section is 3/4" and the handle is attached using a wedged through tenon. The racks are 1" thick, with 1-5/8" forstner drilled for the chips slots. Each rack is sized to hold 20 chips per barrel or 100 per rack. The case holds 5 racks plus some extra room for cards, accessories.
The upper section is 5/8" walnut that I grain matched across the mitered corners. The top is also 5/8" but I tried to give the mitered edges some extra support and hide the top joint by rabbeting the top into the sides.
It was all finished simply with GF Arm R Seal Satin.
