Title: Acrylic trumpet=Pain in the rear
Post by: antnye on January 29, 2018, 02:36:34 PM
Here's why you don't see very many acrylic trumpets. They are a pain to turn. But they do sound really good, are waterproof and aren't bad on the eyes.  An acrylic green swirl trumpet and a acrylic 3piece yelper.

Also a pic of my hunting call this year. A piece of dogwood burl that came from my mother in laws property. It was a victim of the drought a couple years ago. My kids climbed and hunted Easter eggs in the tree. I'm going to make both my boys calls out of the remaining wood. Last is a recent black and white ebony and ivory call.

Great looking horns for sure. Hope that won't be the last of the acrylics. The dogwood burl is really nice looking wood.

That Lignum call I bought from you at Unicoi hasn't left my coffee table.  It sounds great.
I may have to get you to make me one of those acrylic calls someday.   :TooFunny: :TooFunny: :TooFunny:

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  I will make more of these. Just won't be real often. They sound too good to not make a few.

Yes she wasn't too keen on me sitting anywhere in the house after that. Should have seen her face when I showed her the pic of the shavings.  ;D
