Some New Small Projects

[garypl]

Finished a couple of new projects - an eyeglass case for my friend ( W&C Chestnut 8-9oz) and a barrel protector to use on a gun rack when shooting trap and skeet - made of 3-4oz veg tan and 8-9oz W&C .

So, how is the barrel rest used? I get the notch for the barrel, but does the thing sit on something?

It’s made to sit at the top of a gun rack - we have gun racks all around our shotgun courses with cutouts at the top to rest your barrel.  I sew a piece of thin lead inside the rear of the leather to weight it down and just slide the rest into the slot so it protects the barrel!  When you take the gun out, the rest sits on top of the gun rack until you set the gun back.  Here’s a view from the bottom.

Very cool, I bet you could sell quite a few of them. Gotta protect thus shot guns, first and foremost.

Ah! Now I get it. That would work at our range. The first pic made it look like it was 3" thick! Had me scratching my head. Thanks.
