Fit for the King....

I got bored last night so I started making this. It turned out pretty good I think, the burning could have been better but burned in with an old screwdriver and a propane torch I guess it turned out good. The wood is Maple that has been sitting in the barn for awhile but it wasnt old enough so I burned it with the torch and dinged it up with the claw of a hammer to "age" it. The leather straps are from an old belt I had, only thing left to do is figure out how to latch them down but its hot and I dont want to be outside.

I've been wanting to make some boxes like that incase I wanted to move rifles without scratching them.

Looks good.. :drinks:
