I have a shotgun shell vase, but this chair blows it away - "...over 450 .12 gauge shotgun shells, the brass tips create a massaging texture on the top of the chair, much contrary of their intended use." [via] Link.

this would be even cooler if the shells were already used. collecting spent shotgun shells would be a challenge, though.

I'm going to the old shooting range with a rake in spring to collect some spent casings, this is a neat idea.
I know some gun collectors, maybe i'll make a display rack out of shells.

I wonder if Dick Cheney would want to give this as a get well gift?
Sorry, couldn't resist - there's got to be a funny joke in here somewhere.

As someone who shoots and makes art in NYC (and I know I am not the only one), I need to clarify:
The number "12" is not a caliber but a gauge which, in it's antiquated denotation, is the number of spheres that make up a pound of lead that fit a certain diameter barrel. Change that ".12" to a "12." There are a lot of examples of 12-gauge art/furniture/etc. Personally, I like the 12-gauge Winchester shot glasses.
