Yep, that little tyke is well worth the time you took away from the Board and other activities. I hope the little one grows up to be a good hunting buddy for you!!
Hozz, how did you get such good lookin' grandkids?
Have you picked out his first rifle yet? I started the first grandson with a Marlin 22, but I'm thinkin' Savage in 17HMR for the next one. After all Grandpa needs some fun teachin' how to shoot. Enjoy every minute of it friend, they are all precious.
Well Grampa, It looks as if you got your self a new hunting partner in a few years. Grandkids are the best thing going we have 5 so fare. Great work on the cradle time well spent for your new grandson.
"hozz57" way to go on the cradel! Nice wood you slecected. Fit for a King! Good luck with new grandson. Hope mom and dad are doing well. Yep better pick out that first rifle before some seeds ya gift certificate for one........
Thanks for sharing.

Life is an adventure and often to short. Make the most with family and friends. Shoot often and shoot a small hole. Love the 204 Ruger!! NRA Life Member

hozz: Nice work there buddy on that cradle! Great lookin' grandson too, I can't wait till mine is old enough to go afield with me, bet you feel the same way.
The time away from your rifles and the board were very well spent, I'd say.

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments. Of course my daughter's the one who did the hard part, for me it was a pleasure working with fine wood and seeing the project come together.
I figure to get him started with my granddad's Winchester model 69a .22 as soon as he is old enough to reach the trigger.
The more I learn, the more I see how much I have to learn!
Nice wood is always good to look at, especially when crafted well. Cute little guy holding it down, too!
