Hi Chris, the width is 1/2" and I'm pretty sure it's 6" long. I'll have to check.

Tom, yeah it is very buoyant, which is good for adding ballast. I built a stocky gun from jarrah and it only needed a couple ounces near the handle to get a level sink with the shaft in. I think using the lighter woods can be a real asset if you seal them properly.

In other news, the gun got a serious workout recently - check back because you won't want to miss!
