105 mm Howitzer call..
« on: June 19, 2016, 09:53:43 AM »
Just recently finished this call up.  A friend brought me over this shell, a 105mm Howitzer, the largest gun in the C130 gunship, and asked if I could make a call out of it for his superior officer.  So this is what I came up with. Call is posed with a 300 win mag shell for comparison.  Hand polished, and sealed with acrylic.  Striker handle is made from the shells primer.  Also hand polished and sealed and has a purple heart peg.  Call insert is made from Cherry.  Call weighs just over 4lbs.  He didn't want it conditioned, so I have no idea how it sounds.  Don't know if I'd take it hunting since it weighs so much.
Thanks for looking.

Probably end up as a paper weight but that is a great idea you came up with!
