Title: Reproduction Gibson
Post by: WillowRidgeCalls on September 25, 2011, 12:30:07 AM
I was asked to do a reproduction of an original Gibson call that Gibson built for his grandfather. This is how she turned out. It's a canary over snakebelly cherry. I did my best to copy it from the photos he sent me and I think it came out pretty close. It took 13 straight hours of my old style burning ( hot nails) to get her done. It has a great sound to it, that starts out high and rolls over into a deep throaty rasp, with a nice kee kee also. I hope he get some good use of it this spring. It's headed to MS.
Thanks for looking. Scott

Let me tell you something Scotty my boy...that is one super duper job! I thought about using hot nails for woodburning, but every time I stuck a match to one of my fingernails it hurt too much to hold my finger still enough to do any good....lol
