That is not so hard to come by as the see-through wood for the sides, and
once you do get it planing it flat is a nightmare!

He could always use some typw of magnetic field to keep that hat suspended.

Har har. C'mon, is this the place for advice or not?
(BTW, the hat is already cleverly suspended above the base with a very
well concealed brass support which was a plate holder in a former life.)
Now I would really like to build the "transparent wood" encasement as
soon as possible. (PS. I found a great cheat for this part: Take pure
silica sand, soda ash, and limestone, heat to about 1500° in a furnace,
pour over a forehearth until it flows out nicely, let cool SLOWLY, then
cut to size with a small steel cutting wheel. Some stores sell the kits
pre-cut under the name "glass.")

Oh yeah, you can cheat that way if you like, but nothing beats using the
real thing,

Mebbe he could suspend it on a column of air. That way it could be made to
move around in a circle for displaying all of its detail.

Or just embed it in some plastic so that the 'glass sides' aren't really
panes of glass, but the outer surfaces of a solid.
