Recently had a very positive experience with a guy that makes gun racks.

Had a need for a gun rack for the older shotguns I've been tinkering on. Had too many in the safes and didn't like leaning them up against corners in my gun room as they awaited parts or range testing. Didn't need an expensive/hardwood piece of furniture but did want a sturdy rack that doesn't look like I cobbled it together in my garage. Did some searching on the 'net and found a guy in Georgia that makes a variety of reasonably priced gun racks and can customize them to your needs.

He does online direct sales of his gun racks and all communications are done via email. I get the idea he is a one-man operation and doesn't want interuptions by phone calls when he's in production. He promptly responded to my emails and he came up with a design at a reasonable price so I sent him a check. He's backlogged a bit but quouted me a date ~three weeks out that the rack would be completed and shipped. It was done on schedule and he sent me shipping notification and tracking link.

The rack came shipped unassembled, very well packaged, and took less than ten minutes to assemble. The workmanship was very good. The man knows what he is doing in the wood shop (I once worked part-time in a cabinet shop and know proper fit/finish when I see it).

If you have a need for a rack in the shop, hunting cabin, gun shows, shoots, that is way beyond some imported chinese junk or 1x4's nailed together, I highly recommend this guy. He offers a lot of different styles, finished or unfinished, and can customize. It was a positive experience and he does exactly what he said he will do. Money well spent.

Thanks Matt. Good find.

nice

Those are indeed nice, well constructed website too.
For something fancy for showing off high-grade guns, a converted antique bookcase or china cabinet is very classy. Not high security, but something to enjoy when you are at home or entertaining sportsman friends. A friend bought a quarter-sawn oak bookcase with carvings, claw feet, glass doors and ends, etc., removed the shelves and replaced with spacers and butt stands, beautiful, kinda wish I had one, but I'm more concerned with security and discretion.
