re: New hand built gun cabinet (Pics Included)

Looks like a walnut stain on it to me.

As far as the lock, a simple mailbox style lock may work if he wants something quick and easy. A little routering and a drill hole and he's good to go.

Eta- would keep honest folks out..but not someone with a prybar. Could always trim in angle iron though with matte black paint..then a lock, would give a lot more strength and they have to work for it a bit.
