Thanks.....That is a first for me, Red Iron Bark. I have approx. 40 blanks of that material now, they vary in shade, but most are figured like this one. The call turned out nice, sounds and plays great.
That's a nice hatch!

Thanks, getting harder to find Snakewood blanks like these.
That king wood is nice and is used in many musical instruments due to the tone. Best it sounds great too!

Thanks, I love Kingwood, underrated wood in my mind. I am never disappointed with the sound of Kingwood trumpets, I think they look beautiful too....Here is another view of this Kingwood trumpet.

I love that wood grain!
I noticed my picture description says Desert Ironwood, obviously I messed up....lol....this is Kingwood.....and yes, Kingwood tends to have very cool grain lines.
OUTSTANDING effort in so many ways...Very nicely done, Greg.
