Shell Casing Display
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
A friend of mine is getting married in Hawaii in a couple months and I he keeps on talking about a shell display so I thought I make him one as a gift. We planned to go but he will receive this before so he has less to bring back.
The gun is made of ash. I originally thought of blackening it to make it look like a silhouette but liked how the ash showed up. Holes were drilled around the perimeter and then around the gun portion. Added his initials for the personnel effect.
I hope he likes it.It's about 16'' across 8 1/2'' high and 1 5/8'' thick. The walnut is left over from my son's wedding. LOL.
Finished with spar urethane. I may buff it out later.
Tanks for looking.
