Thanks for the interest in the stand. A plexiglas cover would be a nice addition. Here is a slightly changed version I made for another member of this forum in which I addressed the magazine and tool question. The cost for this version is 55.00 plus shipping. The reason I used a piece of carbon arrow shaft is that carbon does not absorb moisture so no damage to the bore. I also changed the base wood to Poplar to avoid any chance of acid in the wood affecting the metal.
The Japanese use Hanoki wood for the Saya ( scabbard ) of the Katana sword because it has no acid that could harm the bare steel of their precious blade. Both their wood and our Poplar are from the same species and share this trait. So I am told. If the interest is still there, please email me and we can discuss your desires and my abilities to produce.
Thanks again.
Dave
