I need a design...

I sawed off the butt of the rifle because the rest of the rifle was cracked to shit. So, after sanding the white paint off I was pretty happy with this. Two toned and has a nice look with the wood grain. Can definitely stain it! :D

I just gotta think of something to carve out of it. 😋

Just to clarify, you're going to make an art piece out of this now scrap piece of wood, correct?

@xixgun and?

@XReaganX Great idea! I would recommend basing your design from the existing shape.
You could turn it into a fish tail, mount it on a board "The One That Got Away"
You could carve it into a vase with flowers (some fine Dremel work though, I'd think)
You could turn it into an abstract shape, or a tear drop shop, carve a large hole out of the center then drill a hole through the bottom and turn it into a lamp.

I look forward to seeing what you decide!

@xixgun LOLOL you scared me there.

@XReaganX I understand, a lot of people are real pricks about creative efforts. I'm not. Remember, I was an illustrator in the Army and do some wood craft too.

@xixgun Wow! Very nice art pieces you did there! :D

I'm delighted you're not such a person to judge like that lol

@XReaganX No, I'd actually like to talk to other people that are interested in doing this but on a fairly beginner level.

@xixgun well, I can tell you, I'm definitely a NOVICE! lol
