Special Loading Block

[davec2]

I was asked by a U.S. Army veteran to make a special bullet board / loading block.  He was in the Army for 13 years before residual wounds caught up with him and he left the service.  He went back to school to become an ordained minister and is writing a book.  I was happy to make the block in the shape he asked for.  The wood is ebony and the holes are sized for .45 cal round ball.  The maker's mark is die struck in copper and inlayed.

Very neat item for a preacher man who is into shooting BP.

Looks rather cool.
