[Nhcoll-l] display case materials recommendations

[Tamar Danufsky]

Greetings,

We are planning a custom built, free-standing display case for a California
Condor specimen.  The case will have a wooden base and either glass or
plexiglass top.  Are there recommendations for the best types of wood to
house specimens that will minimize harmful off-gassing?  The builder is
considering cedar or redwood, but if there are better alternatives we are
not committed to anything in particular right now.
Also, are there any recommendations about wood stains or sealers?

thanks so much!
Tamar
