I like both ideas. Think I prefer the shelf with the hole as it puts more emphasis on the vial. Might be a good idea to have a mockup/visual on both so we can see the whole picture. I'm pretty sure bio hazard stickers are easily available online.

heres a mockup with the solid door idea. The tube could be held on a little clip. I'd have preferred to put the bio sticker on the tube, but cant work out how to wrap textures in this program...
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Now that I see the whole picture, I prefer this option for the tube. Looks great. I think the sticker looks okay there. Can work on the tube too.
Stroppy-
Have you gotten any feedback from Peter on his thoughts about us trying this?
Speaking of the Stand, this is a case done for the Uncut Version.I've done cases for the 1st with the window, but with the Uncut, the window positioning needed to change.
The front window...
Instead of a spine tag, we added some additional info and engraved into the case itself
The owner had the idea of this additional element so we also added a 'window' on the back to reveal Kings 'million mile stare'... I think it turned out great
We used gold coloring for the title on both the lid and on the spine to mimic the coloring of the book itself...

Peter didn't comment, i'll ask specifically this time.

Dick, check the Peter Schneider thread. I mentioned some thoughts Peter had when we talked the other day.Peter didn't comment, i'll ask specifically this time.
This is the thought that I had for the syringe. This is just a quick edit. I didn't go into near as much detail as Simon. *Disclaimer I didn't do scale this is just a 15min doodle.
Stroppy - I think your case is growing legs!!
A couple more pics before I forget. These were the cases for the CD Lettered Edition of Faithful. Each case is engraved/designated with the corresponding Letter of it's book. There were a few 'Publishers Copies' that were engraved with that recipient's name. These were constructed from Ash which is what some/most wooden baseball bats are made of.
We were going to make an extra to send to Merlin58 because he loves Boston so much but thought that since he lived in such a warm climate, he didn't need any additional firewood.
Although it is shown with SK books, this case was sized for a set of H.G. Wells books. Made of Hickory.

Another unique and finely crafted piece from the "Wizard of Wood"....
Sorry for the crappy pics, they do not do it justice at all. Made me feel a lot better though!! LOL

What? Looking for anything specific?
Added Carrie a couple of weeks ago. Salem's Lot is next. Plan is to having matching, windowed Dolso for each of the "big five".
Very cool and a great plan!!! Nothing in particular was the motivator. I just love his cases and was hoping for some recent purchases/designs to be posted. He is working on something really special for the 2016 HF that should open a few eyes!!!What? Looking for anything specific?

I think, what with, "Bad Penny" distributing his collection, by default I became the member with the most "Dolso" cases!!! I must have 15 or so!!! LOL

Agree that Dolso's quality and craftsmanship in this space is second to none.....
Unfortunately, I've never been a fan of wood slip/tray cases. Space certainly is a concern but I prefer the cleaner, slimmer profile of the more prevalent cloth/chipboard construction sold by CD, SKCollector, etc.
Call me crazy....
I want a Dolso case for the sheer craft of it, but think that I'll likely stick to the one that sticks in my mind: 11/22/63 adorned with just the half-dollars that go with the different time-frames to fit the S/L and a Trade 1st. I'm hoping that I can make that happen in 2016 (along with the other projects that are flying around in my head that I'd like to get done).

#92 IT Portfolio (or the #95 IT to swap for the #92 that I have)
Any #95 SK-related Cemetery Dance Edition
Any #7 PS Publishing Edition
Sleeping Beauties: Signed Tour version.
I'm putting a Dolso case on my list for 2016 too. I have a remarqued Cujo that I think deserves the Dolso treatment.
All this talk of Dolso cases makes me what to plan on getting one next year as well. I'm thinking 11/22/63 as it's one of my favorite King novels.
Yeah, that 11/22/63 case is a particularly nice one for sure.

I have a Dolso with the inlaid silver dollar. AMAZING. I like having one of these for books like that have no traycase or slipcase.

Well, "Santa" gave me a lovely present and I thought I'd share. I know it's not particularly unusual, but I just love it!
Dolso made it with a striped maple that I think is just gorgeous. A perfect place to store my signed 1st of IT. Thanks again, Dick!!
I have one of those and LOVE it. I have been waiting to hear back from him for a bit now on a slipcase for my UK IT.... hoping to hear soon!
