[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2614605, member: 83845"]I have been hoping to merge two of my favorite hobbies, coin collecting and wood working, by constructing a custum built coin cabinet out of solid mahogany at some point in the future. My plan as it stands is to use kiln dried solid mahogany wood, water based finishes and no felt. I will place each coin in an air tite capsule (I am aware they are not airtight and even slabs are somewhat permeable). I know that many of you have reservations about wood cases and I totally respect your opinions and understand the gassing problems even in a stable wood like mahogany. However, my questions are aimed at those members who have actually used a wooden coin cabinet for an extended period of time. Did you use air tite capsules with your case? Did you notice any toning from the case on your silver coins either inside or outside an air tite? How long have you kept your coins in a wooden cabinet? Did you take any other measures to protect your silver coins? Thanks everyone![/QUOTE]
