Has anyone tried making their own show case for a frame of honey?

I think a few have over the years, I acquired four over the years, and come across others at honey shows

Personally the Thornes cases although expensive look the smartest tbh. I have seen plenty of homemade cases and none show a frame to it's best as none complement the aesthetically pleasing slightly of a well drawn and capped frame as the Thornes.

I'd beg to differ there, I have one beautifully crafted mahogany one which shows any frame off to its best, a Thornes one and another homemade one, again in hardwood and whilst there is nothing at all wrong with the Thornes one, no way does it show off the frames any better than the others
