Title: Another West Augusta Striker
Post by: hunter22 on May 15, 2012, 01:04:15 PM
Steve brought me this curly Walnut striker on our recent trip to Kansas. I knew I was coming up again soon on his waiting list but he really surprised me with this one. A real beauty and it has that great sound like all his strikers. Thanks again buddy.

I thought I would post my other strikers from him. As you can see I have a real problem. My ole buddy Jim Runnels and I sort of got in on the ground floor with Steve before he became well known with his work. I got several while there was little to no waiting list. Times sure have changed.

Glad that you like it Rickey.  Man, I am running out of types of wood to make strikers out of for you.

Scott,

I do have a persimmon. It was one of the first ones I got from Steve. Definitely one of my favorites along with the dogwood, apple, black locust, hickory, cherry, plum, ipe, apricot........ you get the picture. I like them all.
