BRYAN3 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Thats looking fantastic Mate. Is it real wood? Can you supply coppies of the plans/drawings. Is it designed specific to an area,ie Norfolk traditional design? Bryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 That's a real skill you have there and have done a great job. I'm fine with metal but wood is a different story. I wont be asking for a trip in it, I will stick to dry-ish land thanks, Please keep the photos coming we are all interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Awesome to build your own gun all the best with your project do you know the approximate finished weight yet ? Hope you'll share a picture or two when its done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth6568 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 It will be 1.5inch so probably in the region of 100lbs, give or take. I'll have a better idea later on I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a better idea later on I'm sure.Minimum sise punt for a gun that weight about the sise of my build so if I ballest mine with about 100 lb over the bow to see how it floats it'll give you a better idea when you plan your build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
