Title: Turkey Display case?
Post by: nelimbhanger on February 13, 2012, 07:15:00 PM
Does anyone know where I can find a turkey display case.  I sick and tired of dusting my turks off and I want to protect them a little.  Please and information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks TJ

I have one made with a wooden framework using safety glass on the sides and a beveled safety glass on top.  Unless you are looking straight on at the case I think it takes away from the mount and the scenery a little.  You should be able to find a custom cabinet shop that will tackle this one for you if you choose that route.

The other one I have is done with leaded glass edging which looks better in person than the picture but it makes for a very heavy display and difficult to move.

I am sure there are many others out there can jump in with some examples and good ideas as well.  Hope you find what your looking for and good luck hunting this spring..

Art Display Essentials will build you whatever you want.  The price should be reasonable.  I think the web site is www.artessentials.com

You need to call them and tell them you want a custom case.  You can provide dimensions and they can give you a quote and shipping.  I have used them for a lot of items in the past.  Their work is very professional and still affordable.

Personally I would not have an Acrylic display case as I have never seen one that did not scratch over time with cleaning, no matter what product was used in the cleaning..

Any windshield/glass shops in your area. Any company that fools with glass should be able to make one for you.
