Apologies if this is in the wrong place.
There was a thread not so long ago where a member had built his own pedestals using pallets/reclaimed/distressed looking wood and said he could supply the build plans to interested members.
I have searched and searched and looked through the forums but I can't find the thread, does anyone remember the thread and if so can you point me in the right direction please?
 
I forget his member ID. His name is Jody from Pennsylvania I believe. Check with @gizmo , I think he can help you.
 
Here is a pedistal base I made. I stained it and used a flat, clear, paint-on top coat. Ones this size were over $400 to buy. After I had paid for the balance on the mount, I decided to make my own. Reclaimed wood would be nice...just make sure you have a good frame so it does not collapse.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
