About the information cards - they are printed on perforated business card stock, 10 cards per page, using the Avery labels template #8376. The front of the card is the information on the knife itself, the back of the card has the NKCA grading criteria used to evaluate and assign the condition on the front of the card. The card stock isn't cheap (although the Office Depot generic is much cheaper than the name brand stock, 30 sheets for the price of 20), so it is helpful to make any spacing adjustments on plain paper, as well as practicing the page orientation for 2-sided copying to get it right before making the final print. Tried to upload the document but it didn't seem to want to cooperate, so I can still email it to anyone who wants it.

Whittlers are the largest pattern group I have, but I've also collected quite a few Congress knives and trappers, and tactical have made a surge over the past few years since I live very close to the Kershaw, Gerber and CRKT factories. Several of these are also duplicates or in fair to poor condition, so there will have to be some removals and replacements as the collection improves.

Pat - That was my first guess, mahogany. You did a fine job and even used the good stuff for the window. The information cards is a great idea. I like to keep track of where mine come from, and when I get them, if I remember. The cards are a nice touch. Locking them up is a good idea too, if have any concern of someone taking them. Now, hopefully they don't just take the whole cabinet.

The cabinet and door are made from scrap mahogany, and the shelves are 1/4-inch poplar. For security the window is lexan and there is a hasp with padlock on the right side.
