About Our Fine Products
Each case is meticulously hand made to order and is available in the finest half inch Baltic Birch or Solid Oak. Each case also has a quarter inch Luan back panel. The shelves on all the cases are not only fastened on each side but also along the back. This will give your case superior strength.
They are all hand sanded and the Solid Oak cases are finished with your choice of stain: Medium Brown or Golden. One can also leave the case "Natural" to let its natural wood tone show thru. All cases are then finished with a satin lacquer sealer and buffed with furniture polish before shipment. Every case is shipped fully assembled.
The cases are all wall mountable and the CD/DVD cases can also be raised up, 4 or 12 inches to a better viewing height, with the purchase of an optional base. They come complete with free wall mounting hardware and instructions. All cases have a modular design and custom sizes are available.
Choice of Wood
Baltic Birch is a very strong multi ply material that consists of 9 layers. The grain pattern of Birch is not as distinctive as Oak but it is similar to Maple in color and the multi layer construction on the edge is quite attractive. Baltic Birch is also very economical and has become quite popular since we first introduced it in early 1998.
NOTE: The Birch cases are only offered in a Natural finish.
SOLID OAK
This is one of the most popular furniture woods in the US today. Oak has a distinctive open grain pattern and a rich feeling. Oak also looks good in it's natural state, which is a light or somewhat blond color. Solid Oak will also be physically the heaviest material. The Solid Oak cases include your choice of stain: Medium Brown or Golden. All cases are finished with a lacquer sealer so if you order your case Natural it still will have a fine lacquer finish.
Would you like to finish your case yourself and add your own personal touch? All cases are also offered UNFINISHED. The unfinished cases will be hand sanded and completely ready for a finish or you may simply leave them as is.
CARE AND HANDLING
Uncle Jon's uses a state of the art satin lacquer finish, which is non-toxic and environmentally safe. It is recommended to periodically wipe down your cases with a dusting product such and lemon oil or pledge. This will help repel dust and at the same time, give your cases a fine smooth polished look and feel.
We offer natural Baltic Birch and Solid Oak. The Oak is available in a Natural, Golden or Medium Brown laquer finish.
