This is a job I took on for the boss at work. It's a display case for a cricket bat signed by the 1999 touring Paskistan Cricket team and the ACB Chairman's team who participated at the 1999 WA Lilac Hill cricket match.

The base pieces and cap are made of recycled Jarrah (one of my numerous skip dives) and the transparent tube is acrylic (quite exxy but I didn't pay for it).

The tube has a bayonet cut into the end and fit and into Jarrah base and end cap which rotate on a lazy susan bearing.

The bat rests on a disc of Cape Lilac taken from a street tree that fell down a couple of houses away from my place.

Here's the design of the cross section of the base.
