Gun Cabinet

This is my oak gun cabinet with raised panel doors and an ammo drawer on the bottom. I originally made it rectangular from the side but it looked too boxy and I did not use the extra space in front of the guns so I took my skillsaw and tapered the sides and added the trim to match the angles.
It has locks on the drawer and door.

It is stained with Zar #120 Teak Natural stain and finished with polyurethane.

My only regret is that the drawer is not on ball bearing full extension slides because the ammo is heavy!!.

Great cabinet Jim, the raised panels are a nice feature with the angled front. Nice to have a lock on there too. Well done.

Thanks Moke, Ron, Eric, Ivan,, tom and Dave.
Hi Tom, at first it was square but I did not like the boxy look so I tapered it!!
Hi Dave, Yes Henry has a real smooth action - even in a 45-70 Much nice than my Winchester.

cheers, Jim

Thanks Buck. They are nice but my favorite is the Browning Automatic. I bought it when I was 17- 60 yrs ago! That was my deer hunting gun,
