My optometrist is also a good friend of mine. When Mike was in college at Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!), he joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The fraternity members are also known as FIJIs and their fraternity pin is in the shape of a diamond. After graduation, Mike stayed with the fraternity serving in various capacities and currently serves as a regional offical. He also collects FIJI pledge pins so he recently asked me to build a display case for him. The walnut case will be split to create a lid and there will be a black velvet pad in the bottom. The case is sitting in a stand but may be removed so that pins may be added or removed. If yo're wondering about the odd angle which the case is sitting, there is a reason behind it. According to Mike, a FIJI always wears the pin so that the point faces over his right shoulder and he wanted the case to be designed with that in mind. The display has been a challenge but a blast to build because of all of the weird cuts. The picture makes it look out of whack but it is symetrical. More photos are forthcoming. I'm waiting on hinges.
