Title: Bloodwood on The Lathe
Post by: GregGwaltney on February 14, 2023, 08:14:54 PM
Don't turn many of my older/original styles these days, nor do I turn many Bloodwood horns. I actually built 2 Bloodwood trumpets back-to-back this week, great trumpet wood IMHO.

Sharp looking pair
The color of the bloodwood matches up nice with your org. style

Bloodwood certainly should make a great trumpet.  Very nice Greg!

Thanks gents....Bloodwood is not the most exciting looking wood, but it dang sure will make a great running trumpet.

Nice Greg. Bloodwood is beautiful, it's just one of those woods you have to get in hand to appreciate. The chatoyancy can be incredible.

Bloodwood also makes an awesome box call lid ... especially bloodwood over a cedar box ...

Me I like the clean lines of a older style trumpet. Don't want a brick on my neck. Look awesome.
