That looks like some Amboyna Burl. You don't play fair. Are you having a matching set made? Good for you, as I love my Buice. Is the mouthpiece going to be permanent or removable?

Its not Amboyna, he has turned plenty of that. im gonna keep it top secret if I can. I talked with Billy, and he said he had never turned any of this wood.  Im gonna do a push in style or screw in.

I got enough for two, maybe three if we add a different wood to the bell.


Mr. Billy to me makes one of the top trumpets out there. He is my favorite

That looks like old growth redwood burl that's been through a forest fire.
