Origami Display

We all go to great extremes to fold a model as perfect as possible with the best paper possible. Some of us even practice several times before folding "the masterpiece"! But what do we do to display it properly?
I think that should be just as important as the folding of the model.
I like to combine wood with origami, as some papers are made from wood.
Here are some photos of wooden objects made by me specifically for origami!

Ok, Quentin, that's just sick... if you'll excuse me I'm going to cry myself to sleep...

I hope your house has enough room for drawers that store clothing or kitchen untesils :D . I love the pegasus with the fat empty frame. Just awesome.

JeossMayhem, if it makes you feel better, I had to leave everything in South Africa when I moved over to Canada. So I don't even have the stuff! That sort of makes me want to cry myself to sleep!
Now I am renovating my girlfriend's house, so I don't have much time for woodwork (or origami) anymore. Hopefully soon!
I do make wooden bases for the models that need support. Make them from cherry wood, which is a beautiful wood. But that's it for now. We don't have space for more furniture, so I won't make any new stuff.

While I appreciate your displays, it is the quality of your models that really grabs my attention. Not only are there several that I cannot fold at all, but your creases are perfect, the details are sharply defined, there is no obvious paper-creep, and (perhaps most impressive) the non-creased surfaces are wrinkle-free. :o I aspire to fold that well someday.
