Mk1 rifle rests

Thanks for that. 2 questions.
1. What was the wood? (because of course it would never had been Jarrah)
2 What was the finish on the wood? (paint,oiled etc)

I'd really like to see an original wooden rest if anyone has one. They must be one of the first parts to rot away if the carrier has been left outside.

The wood was painted flat green. I am wood type illiterate. I have no idea what the wood was. I have always used oak to replace it. If I recall, Brian Asbury had some NOS wood pieces, complete with part numbers.

it could be cedar wood as in "you take the paint off you SEE DA wood" - Joke !
