Just finished up this Glass over a Grizzly Chewing Tobacco Lid in a African Mahogany-Walnut Pot. I thought the lid was pretty cool because I could scratch out the word Cut and scratch in BEARD (Extra Long Beard = Turkey) and then Smokeless tobacco changed to Turkey Hunting. Since it is my 1st one (using the tin lid) I guessed at the distance between the lid and glass, but will make adjustments on the next ones. I'll update with either a sound file (if it sounds good) or with my notes on how it sounds (if it sounds like crap).

Before conditioning the glass I have to finish up a couple of 3" copper in Spalted Magnolia and a Walnut bowl.

UGLY Sounding - Well maybe not so bad when played at a distance. Posted youtube link below. Give it a listen and give me your opinion. First call with a snuff lid soundboard. The lid set the size if the call, so.....

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Marlboro's work better!

Just not enough rasp for me.... ;D

I do like the idea of alternative soundboard material but consistency comes into play.  Either way they look nice.  Keep playing with em.

Let me know what you think. I need to condition the surface a little better.

Its not actually a bad sound. It might not be what you are going for, as far as sound goes. Hows the volume?
Listen for the gobble

Who knows with turkeys. That might be just the sound they want to hear!!!
