Here is my first attemp at posting photos to this forum. I hope this works.
I know the room is a little of a mess right now, I really just need to get some cleaning done. I also have a little more work to the table I would like to get done, a 3 and 5 year old will keep ya from getting some of those small projects done though.

That's a beautiful piece of wood Trent. What is it, rosewood?

It is an unknown variety of walnut. I'm thinking Claro. It's got some nice burl in the forearm. A buddy of mine found this wood in the back of an old salvage car. If I had to guess I would say that the wood is 30+ years old. It looked like heck on the outside. You would have never guessed what was hiding underneath the rough cracked exterior of the wood.
I did put a rosewood grip cap on it though.
Glass bedded it last night and popped it out this morning. Looks good. Should be ready to start getting some Pilkington's finish on it by the end of the week. Can't wait to see what it looks like with finish on it. I'll post a thread with photos.

Here is the bench my son and I just built with my Remington 700SPS in 204 Ruger sitting on it. We rabbeted all the joints so it's rock solid. We're loading for my gun and my son's Savage in 300WSM.
