I've made a couple of boxes for coins in 2X2 flips. Here's the latest, made from cherry wood. Someone suggested I make a box for PCGS and NCG slabs. I don't own any slabs so I need someone to measure them for me. Length, width, and thickness, inches or mm. Also, are the PCGS and NCG slabs exactly the same size? Thanks for the help. Gary

Nice! Those are real purty! I made one with my dad years ago... not as fancy as yours but it gets the job done and I like it. Please excuse my ugly carpet and bad pictures. :)

Beautiful. Love the craftsmanship and grain on those pieces.
Is the top darker one walnut?
Have you considered a way to lock them together for stacking them? Maybe as simple as beveling the top and bottom so they fit together?

ps. Noah-D- Nice dovetail joinery on the corners on your piece.

The top one is crotch walnut. I have a sawmill and pick out the nicest wood for myself. Gary
