Within the next month or so, I intend to start a simple project. A holder/display for collection plates. My problem is, the decision is, on what type of wood to make it out of. I'm leaning more towards cedar, (aeromatic), with a clear acrylic, or a oak or walnut with a light stain. I'm the type of person that enjoys the look of wood's natural color.

Any and all thoughts much appreciated.

Thank you Bob.
This project however, is for my mother. She's into collecting plates. Of all her collections, only one set came with a display/holder. She wants me to make a few for her.

Thanks Bob,
These will be wall mounted. The first two snap shots you have, the lower holder is what she's wanting. In fact, looks very similar to the one she has now. It's only she wants a few more. I've never truly been to fond of "dark" wood color but, it may be just the right contrast needed for her plate collection. I'll be ordering the key slot bit real soon, just real life has to settle/slow down some first.

Quick question for ya, should I make that slot go from end to end or should I just put in individual slots for the plate(s) themselves? Meaning, 5-6 plates per rack, 5-6 slots.

Bob,
Went my local HD today... found a keyhole bit. Not sure it's the size I want though. 25/32", I think I'd rather have the 1/4".

Many thanks Bob.

I'm gonna hafta order it. My local HD didn't have that particular one at all. The others they had were in a set box. I'll check around.
