Title: She started it
Post by: ferocious calls on March 23, 2024, 12:52:23 PM
Sweetie started it. A friend gave me some maple flooring many moons ago and ask if I would make him a call from it. I had only made a handful of calls for myself and a few good friends. I made the call and when handing it to him I said, this is a Sweetie. Meaning it was a good one.
Next day he calls to say he needs 6 more of those Sweeties for guys at work. So I did. A few days later he calls to say he needs 6 more Sweeties. I say nope, not for free, maybe we have something here. Tell them 20 bucks each, I say. Bam! Sweetie was born. Funny how simple events can change our journey through life. Since then Sweetie is speaking in most states these springs.

This batch matches the name. All smiles while tuning this morning. All currently available and itching to be hunted. Lol don't let the price fool you. I don't do this for money. I do it for the joy seen in harvest pics. 50.00 plus actual shipping.

Some of this wood was firewood saved from the pile of split wood. A fella from NY often brings me curly woods to rendezvous. Some of this batch from him.

Seems like most of the very best curly stuff comes from PA above I-80 and upstate NY.

I'm curious, the curly maple, is it Soft (Red) maple?
