Making some beautiful looking loading blocks and other reloading organization blocks to make your reloading room as good looking as inside your gun gun safe!
Here’s an example of one I’ve made for myself. I prefer flat loading blocks but I can also make stadium style, although stadium style will not have the through holes to make cleaning spilled powder easier. Can make flat ones with or without through holes as well.
Options:
• Flat or stadium
• Through hole or no through hole
• closed pore or open pore lacquer finish, or open pore oil finish
• wood of your choice. I always have claro walnut in stock but have a source for English walnut, maple, and other exotic woods. Oily exotics have an up charge both for wood and for finishing, as it takes a lot of prep to get finish to stick to them
•Natural bottom or rubber feet
• Extra space on side for setting pens or powder dispenser as pictured on the one I made for myself
• Any number of cartridge holes, and can do an additional offset one for dummy rounds for more quickly setting up your seater die for the bullet you’re currently loading for
• Laser engraving a label such as 7x57
Other options can be special request. A basic maple 50 round .473 bolt face with no extras (no through holes) starts at $40 plus shipping. Claro walnut starts at $50 and goes up with extras. I’ll give a discount if you provide the wood, cutoffs from your rifle stock blank? I can glue them together and make a matching loading block.
I’m honest about pricing so if you’ve got any requests for quotes you can send them here and I’ll respond here. I have a full woodworking shop so I can even do stain matching to an extent if you want a more traditional red hue or a more modern natural and clear finish.
On the one I made for myself it was one grade above standard Claro wood, with red mahogany toner, the top is closed pore lacquer finish and the bottom is open pore lacquer (to spend less time on the part that gets the most beat up) with through holes and extra space for pen on the bottom and extra space for funnel on the side, with a beveled handle for more easily picking it up.
For a copy of this exact block I would charge $60 plus shipping.
Oh also I can do any bolt face, and varied thickness to customers preference. If it’s a cartridge I don’t have on hand to test, I will require accurate measurements of the casing at either the head (if rimmed or rimless) or at the thickest part of the casing (if belted, or rebated rim).
Turnaround time is generally a couple weeks unless I have to source exotic or out of stock woods, and I’ll communicate with you as to what I have in stock at the time and what needs to be sourced. I can also accept wood you send me if there’s any you have with sentimental value.
Thanks for reading! I don’t expect to sell many but worth a shot, I’m tired of seeing reloading rooms full of plastic haha
