Title: Weekend turnings
Post by: misfire on February 10, 2013, 06:47:07 PM
Made these two over this weekend. The duck call is a buckeye burl barrel, the band is elk antler, and the insert is striped ebony. This one is headed to south GA.
The trumpet is a maple burl body with buffalo horn mouthpiece and adjustable lipstop. It is headed to the classifieds

Its pretty easy to turn, just keep the tools sharp to prevent tear out

Was your buckeye burl stabilized?  You mentioned "tearout", so that made me wonder.   
I have never had a problem with tearout on stabilized buckeye burl.  It costs a little more to have it stabilized, but it turns like butter afterwards. 

Beautiful wood and craftsmanship on both calls!!!
