It's hard to screw up a Kibler Woodsrunner. I'm sure it has been and will be done, but so far I don't think I have.
I made a solid wood jewelry box for my wife years ago from some feathercrotch cherry. It's heart shaped and I centered it in the crotch grain to catch the pattern. Cut a profile, sectioned it, milled out the cavities with integral partitions, and the underside of the lid. It warped a little but that grain and color is like no other.
Not a rice barrel. It's a an unchambered, unfinished 24-gauge cartridge Belgian double gun blank that I finished out on my lathe and milled the octagon, breeched, and reamed. RobM uses a lot of them for his smaller trade guns.
