Ammo stand I built

[Jeff L]

I built it over the weekend. I wanted to experiment with laminating different woods together. The bottom is ipe (very heavy), maple and topped with walnut. The finish is oil based urethane. It will hold 22 - 30-06 rounds nose down. for easy loading. I'll take another pic when the finish is dry and I can put some rounds in.

Looks great. I bet you could eat off the floor of your loading room.
Me, I'm cheap. I make my mine out of 2x4s.
