Well I got my timber, nothing special. Not hardwood or Jarrah not even treated pine!!
I went to Bunning’s and just found some normal pine I think it is, but it was at the size I wanted. Everything else was too big or small.
Length didn’t matter of course as I could cut any size. But depth and width was something I wanted to get right.
I also wanted as Gary pointed out a size that I was comfortable using the scope sitting down. That length turned out to be 1.2M. I will re check this as 1M mite be a bit better. For portability anyway.
So pics of the timber after light sand then some oil based lacquer. Funny that there was some guy doing timber staining demonstrations. He helped me after he finished pick my timber and oil for the timber. Great service at Bunning’s.
Will be a week or two before it gets fitted to the mount.
