Wooden or leather portfolio case

[Nasser]

Dear all,

I have my platinum and palladium prints, mounted for presenting, the size of the print with the mound is 16"x23". I am trying to find a wooden flat case or leather one to store these prints as a portfolio, am looking for really special ones.

Any comments would help

These are cloth covered but still quite nice.

Or get a furniture maker to make some for you...

Neither wood nor leather for long time storage. Get an archival portfolio box.

How about a saddle maker? A tooled leather case would be pretty unique!
But for what purpose? For showing your work to clients I'd think the less distraction the better
For your own pleasure, why not see if a leather crafts store has a kit and assemble/tool it yourself?
Some airline pilots get chart cases custom made (I think Captain Scotty made, or used to make them) You might ask any professional pilots you know where they get their chart cases.
For wood, you might gift your local high school wood shop teacher a box of doughnuts or perhaps favorite beverage along with a "pretty please."

Here are my custom made portfolio cases for my work. All prints are matted 20x24. It can hold 15 mounted prints and ready to go anytime. I love wood so this works for me perfectly.

Beautiful, Tri!
What keeps the chain from abrading your fine prints when the portfolio is closed?

The inside case is actually a little bigger than 20x24 so the chain will fall in the gap when you close it. The chain is light so I'm not worry too much.

Very nice cases Tri Tran, the chain wood worry me. (pun intended)

I just opened some 15 year old archival cardboard photo boxes today and everything is just as I left it. Perfect.

I need to get ready for my next project, I forgot to budget for storage.

I like those boxes. What sort of finish is inside the box?

Thanks Randy, they are all wood finished inside out.
