Gun Rack

[smitty0312]

Just completed this gun rack....burned finish with 2 coats of polyurethane....added cushions to the gun rests too.....used my scroll saw to cut the gun rests.....made one very similar to this in 8th grade shop class 39 yrs ago......can you see a deer head above this? Comments please

It looks nice but hard to see.  The background and things around it are so distracting.  You might try taking a picture with a plain background.  A dark blue sheet or something that contrasts with your project might work better.

My wife might miss the sheet off the bed.......

Just put the project on the bed....

Seriously, I see so many great pictures with less than optimal pictures.  Things like the background, lighting, and poor framing.  I got my wife to purchase some blue fabric on sale.....just a few bucks.  She sewed the end so I could slide a piece of 1/2" PVC pipe thru a long loop.  I can hang it up in my shop to make a background.

But....it was just a comment and you requested comments.

I like it - would also like to make one someday.  Good job and thanks for sharing it

I have to agree though, a better background would really make that thing shine for all to see!

Looks awesome!!  A gun rack was one of the first things I ever made when I "got back into" woodworking a couple of years ago...only had an old tablesaw and jigsaw.  I applied dark walnut stain with a paintbrush and didn't know you were supposed to wipe it off with a rag afterwards (you'd think they'd print something like that on the can...in letters big enough to actually read....).    This looks phenomenal!
