I made this maple cabinet for my wife, Sandy, to display an afghan that was made by her great-grandmother. The afghan is over 60 years old. It is starting to unravel in some spots, so we designed this cabinet for displaying the afghan and to protect it from further damage.
Sandy’s dad, Darwin, asked his grandmother to crochet this afghan for him to give to his new bride, Rogene. Darwin passed away a few years ago and Rogene knew that it would mean a lot to Sandy to have this treasured item.

A beautiful cabinet to house a beautiful afghan. And a great story to go with it. What more could you ask?
Jay,
Thank you for the complement.
It’s not very often that I get to keep something that I have made.

Nice Job Keith. You must have glass in the frame, but do you have to be careful to protect the afgan from the sun also?

Beautiful Afghan and touching story Keith. Nice build I like the finish of the cabinet. Looks like it will preserve the memory for a long time to come.

Lyle,
Good point. I will probably hand in a hall that does not have direct sunlight.

Thanks Mike,
The finish is dye added to pre-catalyzed lacquer.
