That's a really well thought out design Ken! I wouldn't worry about fitting the flag into your opening. They can tuck in behind the lip pretty easily.
I was hoping somebody would actually read all my drivel and comment on that. It has really been bugging me! I even tried to design in a rear-access door but I designed it to be hung with an aluminum cleat so it sits flush to the wall and I'd have to move the cleat too low to allow rear entry. Leaving it as-is would be a huge weight off my mind.
Thanks pottz. I'm debating on violating the "all Walnut" request and using some of your Cocobolo for the trim pieces around the flag 😁
