<p>[QUOTE="Noah Worke, post: 21522940, member: 115032"]I'm also considering making one. I'm planning on making it with 2x2 sections to hold vinyl flips, separated by dividers held in place with dado joints. I want to use walnut and brass since I like the look, but I'm unsure whether or not walnut is safe. One question I have is whether or not Tung oil is safe, because it is by far my favorite stain. I plan on putting my ancient coins in there, since I don't really have a place for them other than a plastic box that doesn't really look that great. I'm making it sort of like a briefcase, with brass locking furniture and hinges. I don't think it should affect my coins very much, since they've survived this long already, but who knows? If walnut's going to be terribly reactive, I'll switch to mahogany or cherry since those were mentioned earlier to be safer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
