    A smaller scale lockdown project for me - turning an old savage 99 stock into a lamp stand. Also got hold of a very nice (and very expensive) slab of walnut to make the base, and modified an old cartridge case for the switch, even has the original SA Corp 250-3000 headstamp (and a new primer). The other photo is the original prototype I made last winter from another stock. the shade is modified with fern leaves from the garden. Will do the same with the new one too so we have a set.

    That's a very "light" stock!
