Scraps
« on: April 18, 2014, 03:27:03 PM »
I found a use for the scraps that I had laying around the shop.  I made myself a couple of Jordan yelpers to use this spring.  They don't sound too bad for my first two.


Black Locust and Ipe


Snakewood and African Blackwood

Both have white Delrin mouthpieces.

Those turned out nice my friend. That Snakewood is an eye catcher.

Looks good Steve!  If your first two look like that, I can't wait to see more to come.  What works best to cut down the brass casing?

Steve, I had a Millwright cut it at work with a Whiz wheel.   :TooFunny:
