African Blackwood Trumpets-Build #2 & 3

[gergg]

I built trumpets #2 & 3 today, both African Blackwood, slightly different aesthetics, just figuring out how I want them to look moving forward. I will say that they sound nearly identical, so my internals/processes are repeatable which is why I built two of the same wood today. I know the pics make one look shorter than the other, but they are identical lengths.

I think I prefer the bottom call. Just a touch smaller in the middle and looks like the bell is a touch different. Nice looking calls

They are nice looking calls
To me the bell looks to be to small

Appreciate the feedback, I am still figuring out the lathe, easy to get away from where I think I am heading, then it is "oh crap" time...lol

Thanks Chris, I am making progress, slowly but surely. I was in the shop all day today.

It's amazing how time flies when you're in the shop. Well, it was time well spent.

Hey Chris....in person I like the bottom one better too. These close-up pics are hard to read, the thinnest portion of each is within .015 of each other.

I know my back feels it, standing over that lathe all day got to me....ouch!

Yeah, my back and feet get me.
