105 mm Howitzer call..

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!
