Figured I would turn this Olive wood blank into a Christmas day trumpet, just seemed appropriate. These blanks I have are super heavy/dense, and colorful, should make a great call.

I think that wood gets prettier with age also. Should be a good one
Well , you got my attention
Great looking wood!!
I know it will look great but man this stuff can be a pain to turn.
Looking forward to seeing this one!

I might be able to get into this blank tomorrow, hopefully it will behave.

LOL.....I put a moisture meter on it and found that it needs a little more dry time.....unfortunately...Argh....So I started another ABW to keep me busy :toothy12:
What is your favorite wood to work with so far Greg? Can you tell a different in tonal qualities from one wood to the other? I don't think I could tell any difference from my calling experience from Osage to Oak. I think it's more of a personal preference for looks but I am not the greatest caller either just curious on your thoughts thanks.

Hey Chris, I like all of them so far, but Genuine Lignum Vitae was the biggest pain as it sanded like concrete....lol.... I definitely hear differences between the various species of wood, sometimes subtle, but unique none the less.
That is a beautiful wood. Look forward to seeing how it turns out
