Title: Paddle Call and Scratch Box
Post by: trb136 on February 21, 2012, 04:21:23 PM
I have been anxiously waiting to build a call with this Poplar and let me tell ya its some fine stuff...I topped it with a Maple Lid..The Scratch box is built on a 5 degree angle like the box calls..it has a Cherry and Walnut striker  with a Cedar sound Board....I havent seen one built like that but I am sure someone has tried it...I was trying to think outside the box a little....the scratch box that is...  :icon_thumright:  thanks for the look...

First time I've seen poplar with a red tint, Tim. Those looks great.
I stopped at the mill a week ago and asked them if they ever get mineral stained poplar in? The guy said, yeah we do, but we toss it in the junk pile, because we can't sell poplar that isn't poplar colored. He some of the stuff is as black as can be. Man point me toward the junk pile.  :drool:
