Have curly maple - Need project ideas

[bioprof]

I lucked out and found an 8' 1x4 piece of maple with nice curl the whole length at a Menards store in my town. I need a small piece for a plug for a powderhorn I'm building, but what could I do with the rest? Any project ideas?

How about a pistol loading/display stand.

How about a pistol loading/display stand.

That's a great idea, and then I can build a muzzleloading pistol to display on it ::

You could make wooden inlays out of some, a nice real seat for your fly rod, powder measurers...

I like your way of thinking.

Using the same piece make several items to match. Pistol stand, pistol grips, and matching knife handles, and how about a nice gentlemans cane. Grip for a bullet starter. All to match each other. Matching ram rod?

If you know any whippersnappers, you could make some toy muzzleloaders, pirate pistols, tomahawk heads, etc. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
