Scrap wood Saturday, rifle rest

Route out a hollow on the bottom of the legs and glue in some lead for weight.

Looks good.
 
I was looking for the wood project.
it took me a minute to figure out the Rest was it.
 
One thing is certain, if it has 3 legs, you can forget about wobble.

Great Job,

Ben
 
Here's my woodworking project, made from my neighbor's scrap Walnut. 6" tall by 8" wide; it's my interpretation of a Tureen shaped hollowform.


I confess, it took longer than a day to put it together and finish, but not that long.
Total of 109 pieces.
I can turn wood, but I can't count; it's actually 133 pieces of scrap wood.

Gary, Maybe it's me but how do you steady the rifle on top of that? Looks like it would just slide off.
 
I wondered if there was another hole in the bottom and you just stuck the barrel right through, but your way is much better.
 
Those are beautiful ! Could take em to the range and stash your fired brass in them. Be the most fasionable BP Cartridge "water dunk" recepticles on earth.
 
That has to be the prettiest brass tumbler I have ever seen...
I am sure there are other uses for it as well..

Having been a wood worker most of my life I can truly appreciate the talent that displays...Dan
