Title: Bob Buckner Osage beauty
Post by: KentuckyHeadhunter on March 13, 2018, 06:27:02 PM
I had Mr Buckner make me this Osage trumpet.  The wood is from a very old Alabama fencepost and is absolutely stunning.  Buffalo horn MP, spiral design ferrule and all the fixins.  Sounds great as with all his calls.  His craftsmanship never ceases to amaze me. 
Thanks Bob!

That's a beauty no doubt and I'm sure just packed full of turkey.  Nice piece of Osage!!  You have to love that Rose Engine work on that ferrule!!!!!!

Osage darkens with age and ultraviolet light.  It will travel from almost bright yellow to dark brown in a few decades.  Snakewood will lose it's beautiful figure over time as well.

Thanks for the kind words Allen glad I could make it for you.I don't make calls to sell anymore just when I get a order and at my pace the years have slowed me down more than I want to admit but I still love making them.

Spectacular ! I am lucky enough to own a corian and one I picked up at Unacoi ( rosewood ) they are both really good ones and something special to look at . Also enjoyed spending 1.5 hr talking to him, His skill is only surpassed by his knowledge of calls .You have a winner there in more than 1 way..
