Cedar and Glass Case for Pipes: Photos

[Mike N]

A cabinet maker made this cedar and glass case for me for my antique fishing reel collection. I’ve morphed it into a pipe case, but I’m running out of room. I commissioned two more and thought of adding permanent built in racks. But I kind of like the flexibility of glass shelves 9” apart with individual movable pioe racks and single leather pipe holders. The top is glass also which is perfect for downward lighting which shines through each glass shelf.

That's really nice looking. Bowl down just because that's how they will sit or is that orientation a preference?

Beautiful! Is there a light inside or is the light just shining through the glass top?

It’s a small rechargeable strip light that can Velcro to the top of the case or just placed on the glass top.

Awesome! I've been thinking about making a pipe case for myself and this has given me some great ideas. I love the glass fir lighting and display.

Beautiful cabinet, it really sets off your collection nicely.
Lots of sweet-looking burl in there!
Congrats!

That is really a beautiful cabinet and congrats on a great collection!

Just returned to smoking a pipe, so mine are in a box awaiting what's next.

Your cabinet has given me some ideas. Thanks

Nice case and the glass top panel is a great feature.
