Default Shotgun Rocking Chair

Swung by a pawn shop today just to look around.Walked in and saw a few guns to look at.After looking I turned around and sitting there was this rocking chair.Made out of 11 I believe shotguns.I was assured all guns were beyond salvaging and all damascus.Wooden slats on seat and back rest with 12ga brass over fasteners.Very interesting chair and surprisingly comfortable.
Now for the kicker NOT FOR SALE.After I explained to the shop keeper that he was working in a Pawn shop and everything had a priced he still stuck to the not for sale quote.It is not there on pawn but something he had made from his fathers collection of guns to far gone.
So now I'm in negotiations on possibly making another.
I really need to stop looking for guns.

Only thing I could say is it could have been finished a little better.But it is a cool chair.Imagine if it was all one make of gun(Parker) or any number of guns.
But what if each gun used had a small plaque to Identify.What a conversation piece it would be then.

I would settle for a stool of like construction to sit in front of my wood stove in my man cave to be.
