Thought I would post a pic or two of my new shooting board. I was inspired by Derek and it is his design with a little tweaking.
3/4" Baltic Birch ply for the base. Maple for the edge and fence. Cocobolo and cherry for the clamp and donkey's ear.
I added a holdown clamp and a sliding clamp in a track. This also allows me to clamp the donkey's ear without bolting it to the fence. The rear adjustment is a single piece instead of individual feet, making it easier to raise the rear keep it in alignment.
Danish oil and a good coat of wax on the sliding surfaces.
