Multi Caliber Ash Tray
A 20mm canon brass casing head with 4-45 caliber pistol 1/2 casings mounted around side circumference of the 20mm canon casing head, 4-45 caliber 1/2 casings mounted around the top circumference of the 20mm canon casing head and a 50 caliber cartridge mounted in the center of the 20mm canon casing head.
This represents the three types of ammunition used by my Dad while overseas in the R.C.A.F. during WW II.

Thats cool. I have a 4" dia shell casing. I worked in a factory that made them (50 years later) and an old guy had one in his locker from WWII...Bob

I like that very much Les. My Dad was in the RCAF too, (Lancasters). We used to have 20mm and .50 shells around growing up. I lived in a veteran's land act development, so every house had its shell casings and what-not.
And since you asked about my carbon footprint, its 8,265 tonnes/yr. Those pesky jets really spew it outIt's all part of the service here at The House of Pain™
