Thanks for all the comments.
Awesome job. I think it looks great. Stands look as though they will display the pens nicely.
How long did it take you to make? 12x12?

I made it over the weekend, I really can't remember how long in hours. My wife stained it, then I put the glass and the hinges. one week for the whole thing to dry and all. yes 12x12
I think that is a very nice looking case. The only thing, if it was mine, I would have done different would have been to miter the top and base joints so the end grain was not visible. Still, its very eye pleasing.
I thought about doing it that way but since it was so close to Christmas and the store needed it. I just went with dowels on the corners, did not want to go into adding more work for myself.
That looks amazing! What made you choose to make the displays inside hold pens on 3 sides instead of all 4? Were you originally going to make this a stationary (non-rotating) display?
Well I needed one side without pens so the person selling the pen can reach in and take out the stand. no, it was meant for it to rotate since it will be on top of a counter and the person can get a better look in front of them.
I will make some design changes for the next ones and also I will go with a lighter stain. It makes it really dark inside.
