Title: Desert Ironwood Trumpet
Post by: GregGwaltney on October 29, 2023, 05:34:07 PM
Not quite finished with this Desert Ironwood horn, but I think it will turn out pretty good.....The BH mouthpiece has some cool coloration too.

Appreciate it....I have gone to CA for my finishes now, really lights up the wood grain and offers great protection. It does take me a lot longer to finish a call with CA though, but getting faster as I figure it all out.

It defiantly brings out all the good stuff in the wood. I've used it a few times on pots and it's well worth the time.

That is one fine horn! Nice to see you use some BH for the mouthpiece!

TY....yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with BH, a good piece is a pleasure to use, but it can be inconsistent and a real pain a times. This was a great piece of horn, beautiful, solid, and sounds fantastic.

Finally got this call in my hands and wow it's way better looking than the pics. The fit and finish is flawless but better yet the call is all turkey and super easy to run. Very happy with this one. Definitely will make its way into the woods this spring. Thanks again Greg!!!!

Awesome, you are welcome......I really appreciate the feedback and thankful it is positive. Yeah, the CA finish really does a great job enabling the wood to show well, and protects the call fantastically too. By the way, Crowstalker asked me to use CA on an earlier call, since then that is all I have used.....so thank you too sir!
