Bullet in the barn

Some beautiful wood. It surely will make some great projects and allow the wood to continue to give beauty.

Interesting discovery, I sure like the looks of that large knothole.

If I had it, I’d try to dream something up, & put it to use.

Natures creations are always nice.

Very nice find, sorry I can’t think of any specific projects but I would definately leave the bullet in there and show it off.

That is interesting.
How about a nicely designed birdhouse.
The knot hole could be the opening and the bullet would warn unfreindly birds not to trasspass :)

Thanks for posting

Don’t know if you own any or know someone that does, but a gun or rifle rack comes to mind…or how about a router-ed inspirational sign that simply states..”Get the lead out..”

If you route out the knot you can make a picture frame, especially appropriate if you’ve got a nice sanpshot of yourself hunting.

That will make an interesting discussion piece when you finish the project.

I think a gun rack or gun cabinet would be appropriate is you need one. A sign reading “No Trespassing or Else…” would also work.

looks good. lid of a box would be my first vote… or maybe a minature outhouse…........ I see no good use in the small outhouse, ....... so I’ll go with the box lid.

that was my post about the .22. i found one last spring in a slab from cherry tree i had milled last year. i cut it out and still have the piece with the round in it. i use it as a great conversation piece. if i were using it to build something for us, i would have left it iin the board and really had something to talk about.

Here is something I “found” with the sawmill a few weeks ago. 20” deep in a very large sycamore. Looks like a .50 caliber to me.

I’ve been thinking about putting a bullet in the project i’m working on now.

I know the feeling spaids. I found a book of matches was more effective and quieter LOL.

Darren, remember that when a bullet, especially a lead nose, impacts it will compress or mushroom. that round probably started out as a .38. I’ve seen a .50 after hitting a deer, it increases about 25%
