Got a chance to christen my new ashtray I had made in Afghanistan today. The fingers are 20MM shells that one of our jets had left over after a chat with some taliban and the center tray is a 105MM Howitzer round fired from an AC-130 Gunship also fired in that chat. A local Afghan carved out my squadron patches and other info on the sides. It weighs about 20lbs!1764572.jpg

Great example of the very best use of brass and the second best use of that brass.

Thank you for your service.

I've seen better ashtrays before.

They have better grain, and nicer engravings.

BUT, they don't scream -THIS BELONGS TO A BOTL- like this one does. Its used, it has meaning, and others would remember using it once the herf is over.

Nicely done.
