To shooting that is.

I've been busy with a little project that has kept me from shooting or posting much.

Then again, sometimes the little projects are totally worth it. Like a cradle for my first grandkid: Javen James!!

The cradle is made from domestic cherry with walnut dowels for fastners, and I'm sure y'all know how baby was made

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!!

Oh, nice job on the cradle too!!!

Cool deal Grampa Hozz!!

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.

Great job on the cradle Nice wood is always good to look at, especially when crafted well. Cute little guy holding it down, too!

"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.

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.
