What a shame to cover up that beautiful wood and craftmanship with paint.

That occurred to me as well. ut I bought it to use, so painted it will be.

Similar to putting a Pachmayr pad on your favorite Parker and adding choke tubes.

Kind of reminds me of the Wood ice cream churn we had as a kid. That Cypress is great wood. I have a porch swing that has withstood the AZ weather, with no cracks or splinters for 15 years. Only damage is from a few puppies during that time that like to chew the bottom rung.

Paint? Yuck! Stain and seal. Otherwise, might as well go with plastic. Just my opinion.

The idea is to use it as an actual hunting seat. Putting a coat of shiny varnish on it kinda defeats the purpose.

Peach baskets come in all different sizes. Just send a tracing of your butt to the makers, save a couple of hundred bucks.

Pretty sweet bucket-like contraption.

A peach basket would last about five minutes under a grown man Murphy.

HAAAA! That reminds of the time years ago ,when I was sporting a powerlifters build ,buying nice shirts was a nightmare ....I walked into a store and the friendly yet skinny little clerk ( whom today I would appropriately refer to as LBGTQXYZ ) asked me ,could he be of any help?..I asked if he had any man size shirts in the store ?- the look on his face was priceless!


these days since I grew up and left the barbells behind ,life is much easier as long as I can find a place that sells shirts that will accommodate long monkey arms i'm good ...although ,i'm amazed at the amount of plus size shirts available today ,

Back on track,love the bucket Destry ...i'm currently building a table for my cabin ,based on an old one I found in a friends grandfather's basement , a drawer in the front for cutlery is perfect for a space limited cabin ....im painting it the same old timey robins egg blue / green the original,the color is what I fell in love with first....not sure of the USA but here in Newfoundland almost all the old handmade furniture was painted like this ,I believe it was to brighten the daily life,

Paint that bucket Destry!
