Title: Honey Locust Burl Pot....
Post by: mastevt on January 18, 2015, 06:04:04 PM
Well, I finally finished up the first call out of this Honey Locust Burl that's been drying for,.....like ever!  LOL.  Anyways, the call is stabilized, and has a matching soundboard, and glass surface.  This is my first stabilized wood soundboard, and I'm really pleased.  This thing flat out sings!  The striker handle is from the same burl, with a Diamondwood peg.  Now that this test pot is a success, I can start on some orders of it that have been waiting over a year for them.

That's one of the best looking calls and striker set that I've seen in a long time.

Thank you West Augusta, and you too Steve.  Appreciate the kind words.  The sound quality was my biggest concern on this call since I have never made a wood soundboard before, let alone a stabilized one.  It was a pleasant surprise when I took it to the turnathon this weekend and played it for the first time in front of several big call makers, and they all played and liked it.

Very Beautiful Call. If it sounds half as good as it looks it's a winner.

Can I get back with you on Monday.  I'm waiting on a response from a guy who wanted a couple, but don't know how many.    I told him he could have first dibs out of this 2nd wedge.  I got 6 really nice pots and 2 with minimal burl out of it, and enough for 4 grunt tubes.  I promised 1 to the guy who gave me the burl.  The 2 with minimal burl I dyed green.  I'd like to keep my word with this guy, but if doesn't  respond by monday, I'll have to assume he's not interested anymore.  I got 1 more wedge to cut up if he changes his mind.  Heres what I got out of the second wedge.  All got stabilized last night.
