every once on a while, we are presented with an opportunity to take on a new challenge that doesn't fit neatly inside our normal scope of operations. this was one such opportunity. i didn't deal directly with the client, so I don't know much about the piece inside, but i enjoyed creating the display case. it's not every day that i get to use the words "vitrine" and "plinth" in the same sentence. 
I created the framework using readily available oak corner moulding from the home center, and clear silicone to adhere the glass panes. the joints were all cut on the miter saw. I used 3/4" mdf painted black for the plinth inside.
