Wooden Ammo

Well done! Your lettering looks dead on.

If you look close at the big one, you can see some grain. But the 2 smaller ones look like live rounds. Great job!

Great job, thanks for your service

What a conversation piece you have made there. Congratulations on a job well done.

Well done. Look like real. Excelent work

-- Disfruta tu trabajo (enjoy your work)

would it be too tacky to say that these are made to splinter on impact. :P

Nice work…

Thanks All. Splintering in impact would probably be against the Geneva Convention; it could cause an infection :-)

Nicely done.

Love these, my father has shells (a 105mm, and about 5 40mm) and my grandfather had turned a wooden round similar to yours for the 105mm. Never turned any for the 40’s though. Seeing this brings back memories of getting in trouble as a kid for playing with the “big boomer” as we called it lol.

Wow, it’s da bomb! Cool turnings!

Very nice work!

I’ve got to, a couple of times, stand next to 16”, 2700 lb AP projectiles. A couple of them would look nice in your man cave, too!

A couple of 16 inch shells would be awesome but I would need a much bigger lathe :-)

Well done and love the GI paint on them. The Japanese used wood bullets in the PTO. A neighbor saw them when his bunch captured some Jap soliders. Knew some who were shot with them.

Thanks. A very interesting story. I suppose if you shoot any material hard enough, it will do damage on the other end. Especially at close range.
