Second post (past turnings from before I was on the site)
Reese Aukee posted a topic in Wood Turners
Giant bullet, barrel, honey dipper, and a mini snowman which my dad, Bundoman, turned.

so i have a friend who has an old 90 mm shell casing, and he asked me to turn a wooden shell for it. sure. how big? so he sent me some pics of the inner diameter and outer diameter of the casing mouth, and asked that the shell go into the casing by 2 inches, and that the exposed portion be about 10 inches long. oddly, trees don't grow in that shape and size, so i have some scrap lumber gluing up to make the right size. one big bullet coming up sometime this week. oh, if you use a vernier caliber, please get a good straight on shot of the vernier, so i can accurately read the dimension. sigh....

Father of a friend died recently. She requested an urn for her key chain so she could put some of his ashes in. Since he was an avid hunter I used a 7.62x39 AR15 shell to make one. It is a steel shell which I spun on the lathe to sand it fine and then nickel plated it. I turned and polished a brass bullet and made a 1/4" threaded plug for the end. Added a small slip ring and done it is. The steel shell plated as easily as the brass shells did.

Went to Sam's Club and bought 54 more Zebra Pens. They are usually 9 pens for $9.99 but they were on sale for $7.98 WOO-HOO! Doug, AKA Dab, sent me some shells. I love this forum as everyone is so helpful. While I waited for them to arrive I worked the pen parts of 30 pens. Got the shells drilled and polished and put 30 more pens together. Guess what the family and friends are getting for Christmas this year. I will be way ahead of the game. I did 16 and then found two more shells and now these I made with Doug's shells will make four dozen. I have a line on more shells here locally so I'm sure a lot more will be made. It does get a bit tedious.

I saw these at Woodcraft and just had to make one.

A while back I was ask to turn a couple of bullets for a special outdoor piece for a retired military veteran. They brought me this milk can that will be the shell casing. I have a couple of Cedar logs and thought they might hold up to the outdoors weather better than some things. This is all going to be painted to look like a shell and bullet. So I started turning and shaping the bullet part out of the cedar. This log was quite old, but was still wet on the inside as I turned it But it all came together and it slides down inside the shell casing. The casing will be filled with sand so make it heavy and keep it from turning over easily I'm not sure what caliber this will be but it is big and heavy
