Euro project finished

Was looking to do something different so I took a cross section of ironwood that my BIL cut while gathering firewood. Here are the results.

Looks great! I love the wood that you used for the plaque.

Looks great...keep an eye on it my wife's friend had chunks like that as center pieces for their wedding and we have one on our table over time is split almost all the way thru the middle.....looks great just a heads up

Yeah it is cracked around edges and I know once it is inside it will dry faster. Ill keep an eye on it. I've done some smaller ones, birch and black cherry that were thinner and hang on the wall. Amazingly, they never split.

I'm assuming some kinds tend to split more than other...idea is great

This one is my rifle buck from 2014. Almost done with my bow buck from this year too. Can't wait to see yours so post up some pictures.

Pretty darn cool Zem! You even got the slug shell incorporated into it.

Good job on the whitening and a nice choice of lumber for the plaque!

Looks real nice.

To keep it from splitting apart perhaps you could glue a a thin sheet metal ( or something similar ) to the back, even if it does split it won't fall apart.

Great idea

It has been inside near the heat since the 27th and it hasn't cracked any further, thankfully. The sheet metal idea is a good one. Even better is that my FIL is a retired tin knocker and has a beautiful shop to help me out with this if needed.
