Making an instrument case in vintage gun case style

Image
My most resent build is an instrument case for Norwegian traditional instruments "birch bark lure" and "horn" (billy goat), made by Magnar Storbækken at Naturinstrumenter.  This was a fun project for a customer from western Norway. A huge challenge was the fact that I didn't have the instruments, but a measured drawing of them made by the customer. This made it difficult and quite challenging, but luckily they all fitted! It is made from birch and stained with Liberon spirit wood dye. Then 3 coats of Finishing oil. Photo by customer, all parts fitted! Handle and lock. Finished. Workshop.  Templates of the instruments  

Instrument case

A few months ago I was asked to make a instrument case for a very nice Spanish guy, that had purchased a Goat horn flute from Magnar Storbækken. I finnished it with room for his flute parts in the lid. It was not easy to do since I didn't have the actual parts, but he replayed that they were a match to the case. This is made out of plywood(birch) with Antique wax(dark oak). the Runes are from Håvamål, verse 76: Døyr fe; døyr frendar; døyr sjølv det same. Men ordet om deg aldri døyr vinn du eit gjetord gjævt. Thanks. Finnished and ready for Spain This is not the flute parts that he was going to use, just a trial of Magnar S. I think.
