Double Pistol Display Case - Robert Wolfkill

An heirloom quality case handcrafted for your prized possessions

The double pistol case is the newest addition to my lineup. It is my premier case, approximately 20 percent larger than my standard one pistol display case but I preserved the same gorgeous proportions. My goal in designing this beautifully handcrafted double pistol display case was for it to become a treasured keepsake. As a classically trained furniture maker, I use old world techniques to craft each pistol display case to order. Sixteen tenons are used to construct the carcass of the case. No detail is overlooked including hand carved legs, chamfered edges, mortised glass top, cove molding, fully mortised concealed high quality SOSS hinges and highly polished stainless locking mechanism imported from Ireland.

About the Designer/Maker

I am a fine furniture maker/designer working from my studio near Palm Beach Florida. This pistol display case is my original design, so much more than a “box”, designed and constructed like a piece of fine furniture. Each pistol display case is built exclusively with my skilled hands and requires approximately 40 hours to handcraft. I received my training at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship (CFC) in Rockport Maine. CFC is one of the finest furniture making schools in the United States. I value each custom project and the relationship built with my clients. Connect with me for a free consultation.

Select your timber

Each double pistol display case is handcrafted to order. Choose from your favorite species of hand selected timber- Walnut, Cherry, Antiqued Cherry, Rift sawn White Oak, Ebonized Riftsawn White Oak, Maple or Sapele Mahogany to be used for your double pistol display case. I select the timber rough-sawn from the mill and carefully plane and joint to final dimensions, obsessing over tone and grain selection. My pistol display cases are never stained, the beautiful tone and grain produced by Mother Nature takes center stage! Your double pistol display case receives several coats of a high end, hand rubbed oil and wax finish which protects and showcases the natural beauty of the wood grain.

The exact outline of your pistols will be captured via high tech memory foam which will be mailed to you. I will use these dimensions to craft a wooden inlay. When the inlay is perfected, your pistol “nests” inside the double pistol display case on top of finely padded velvet in your choice of black, blue or red. Velvet trim can be added to the inlay around the edges of the pistol’s outline. The bottom of each pistol display case can be engraved with your name and badge number/military service number or any other message of your choice.

How to get started with your custom build.

My double pistol display case is available by custom order only. This illustration should help answer some of the most common questions regarding the process. As you can see there are many choices such as timber/ velvet selection and interior case layout.

The exact outline of your pistols and accessories will be captured via a piece of high tech compression foam which I will mail to you. I will use this outline to craft the wood and velvet insert for the interior of your pistol display case.

Nothing beats the warm glow of North American Cherry. The timber has always been cherished by furniture makers. Cherry has a light pink hew when fresh cut and slowly patinas to a dark brown reddish tone in time. I can use a technique to antique the cherry which expedites the process. This double pistol display case was commissioned by a client in the United Arab Emirates- Dubai and the Custom 1911 firearms were graciously provided by Erick Gonzalez of Cheating Death Custom guns in Miami Fl.

One of my most popular finishes is ebonized oak. I start with select American White Oak. Using an old world technique, I ebonize the parts of the pistol display case prior to gluing the case. This technique turns the white oak to a glorious ebony tone but preserves all of the grain and character. Unlike a black stain or paint, this technique embeds the ebony tone deep into the grainy utilizing the tannin found naturally inside the oak. The case is finished with hand rubbed oil and wax. This double pistol display case was commission by a member of the US Military who specializes in Historical Affairs. The collection of 1800s Smith and Wesson No 1/2, 1 and 2 are an incredible collection of US history.

We used red velvet ribbon to trim the outline of the pistol and extra slides.
