This one has been worth the wait for sure! I had been following Matt Mclain's call making on here for a while and I knew he liked working with domestic woods. One I didn't think he'd worked with yet is mountain mahogany. This wood is hard and dense and is right behind desert ironwood in those categories for domestic woods. I had some and had access to more, so I sent Matt some to turn and I asked him to make me a trumpet from what I sent him. This thing is awesome! Matt Mclain is synonymous with craftsmanship from what I have gathered and now I can experience it first hand. I played this call right out of the box with ease!

It's hard to find. It's a shrub at higher elevations in the western U.S. The shrub is not rare, just hard to get to and pieces are small so few folks go after it.
