vaturkey ( Ricky) was telling me the other day he needed a box to hold his ammo in during the shooting contests he enters. We talked about it and then I headed out to the shop to see what I could come up with. I don't think he has seen it yet I sent him pics but I believe he is out shooting this afternoon. It is made from some of the driftwood walnut root burl we picked up last year and some paduak with the shell holders made from some old wild cherry I picked years back. took a piece of mammoth Ivory and transferred the shooter in prone position on it and inlaid it into the front of the box. Made the top with a little hump back to show off the grain and figure of the walnut. Box holds 100 22 cal. shells and room in between them to hold two extra 50 count bricks. I still have to do some sanding and finishing work on it and mount a couple earth mags to help keep it closed and a thumb notch to use to open it up. Hoping he will be surprised when he sees it and ecstatic when he gets it...pappy
