Thanks ya'll.  It is Black Walnut/Buffalo Horn.  Not the best wood for a trumpet but I was mainly just trying to establish the process and starting-point design to use as a reference.  It actually sounds much better than I expected it to.  I consider this my first trumpet because it is the first one I've made that I thought about the design and set out to make a trumpet yelper.  Many years ago I was just messing around on the lathe with a piece of scrap and one thing led to another and I turned a yelper of sorts, but at the time I knew nothing about them so I don't really consider that my first bonafide yelper.

 Nice turn.  What's wrong with walnut?

Don't sell walnut for a trumpet short. I have made trumpets out of cocobolo, blackwood, padauk, ebony, and several other woods and the one I hunt with is made of black walnut.
