I carved another oak shooting line bow stand

(1/4) > >>

Ruddy Darter:
Just finished up a shooting line bow stand/rest for somebody and though I'd post it, I haven't been able to do much lately but I am now able to get into a few creative projects.
The rest/stand is made from oak and beech with ox horn for the dowelling, I used rabbit skin glue for the construction. Just put the last coat of oil on and waiting for it to dry before it clips together. I used walnut crystals for the staining.
Another couple of pics before stain and danish oil on how it will join and clip together..

Pat B:
Boy, RD, these sure are fine examples of your beautiful carving and in a practical application. Keep em coming when you can.  :OK :OK

bjrogg:
Really nice work Ruddy. I was just thinking of you and wondering how you were doing.

Thanks for sharing

Ruddy Darter:
Thanks very much Pat and Bjrogg,
 It's nice to get something done, I just checked in on it and spotted some small dull patches, the European beech is very thirsty wood and drinks up the oil but it has taken on a lovely golden richness. I was hoping to clip it all together and take pics but instead I'll have to put on another final coat in the morning light.
Thanks again for your kind comments and glad you like it 👍.
I'm just starting another for a friend at the club, he's a Veteran and wants a bow stand incorporating his regimental symbols, I'm looking forward to getting a head start with it and I'll post work in progress/etc. here's hoping i can do it justice.
