Handgun Presentation Box - WOW
« on: August 21, 2012, 10:09:19 PM »
Wow.

A friend of mine offered to build a presentation box for me.  He asked me to select a handgun, and he would build a box for it that held not only the gun, but a set of cartridges and all the cleaning supplies needed to maintain it.

I had seen his work before and it took me all of about 10 seconds to take him up on the offer!

I made things challenging for him and selected my scoped Ruger Redhawk 44 RM.  Here are the results. 

I am amazed at the work he did.  It is stunning.

Before anyone asks, he only does this for friends and refuses to take money for his work.  I am honored that he did this for me!  Thanks Bill!

Outstanding! Serious attention to detail and quite a few hours involved.

Lets see if I can get this right....

The top and bottom is Dark English Walnut.
The sides are walnut
The dust gaurd (rim around the edge on the inside) is cherry
The little lid inside is walnut, with a maple edging, and an ebony handle.

He is a real artist.  I believe he put in over 100 hours into this project.

I forgot the makers mark!

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
