If you watch the whole thing, it's pretty cool.

Good & amazing workmanship.
But I wonder what the make believe 'bullet' ricocheted off.

G'Day Fella's,
Thanks for sharing Rothhammer1.
Impressive it is, but if I was going to go to these lengths and effort, I'm not able to work out why you wouldn't make it from Metal?
D'oh!

Amazing workmanship, though. Some guns of the later 1800's were made in wood first. I've heard of oak Colts. There was a side hammer Cold that was made of oak in someone's collection today.
I think it was the 1855 Root model, first made of oak.

Often, wood working models were made as part of the patent application.
I would have preferred he leave it in natural woodgrain rather than paint it but a pretty neat project none the less.
