Had some Navy 3" 50 empty brass laying around since the Vietnam War and
decided to turn a couple of projectiles. Glued 4 pieces of 2" x 2" poplar
with some 1/4" oak plywood for the stripe. Projectile is 13" long x 3" dia.
Overall length of completed shell is about 30".

Republican Proverb: Teach a man to light a fire and he will be warm forever.
But throw the SOB into the fire and he will never again complain about
anything.

Heh! Those are pretty cool!
Going to make great conversation pieces.
