This striker may be the one of my coolest strikers yet. It came from a Alabama church pew that was built in the 30's. I love the grain and iridescent gold in the wood. Sounds great on slate. Derrick said the grain count put the tree cut in the 1800's as best he could tell. Really cool!

That is really cool.
Hopefully, you will be blessed and kill every thunder chicken that answers your pot call using this striker :-)
I'm blessed even if I don't ever kill another turkey, but I get ya!!
Good luck to ya.
NICE LOOKING STRIKER
any more available .....
Very cool! Whoever said pine doesn't belong in the call making industry. I've used it for pots before and they turned out pretty dang nice!

You will have to call him. Special order stuff. But I bet he does. You can also get to him on eBay and face book. Obsessioncustomcalls
Great looking striker. If it sounds half as good as it looks you should be in good shape.
Man that awesome!

I like pine. I like it a lot actually. It's a bit soft and I believe that's the fear. Having said that they make box calls out of cedar and it's softer yet.
I bet that there striker could play a great rendition of "Amazing Grace" on the right pot call!!!
I hope it sounds heavenly. :toothy12:
Really sharp looking striker. Coming from an Alabama church pew makes it even more special.
i like the pine got some old beams that I picked up going to make some more later :morning:
Tight grain, old growth longleaf pine makes great calls, I made four trumpets out of some pine with very tight rings from a board cut over 100 years ago that sound like they were made from some kind of hardwood. All pine is not created equal, but old, slow growing pine makes good calls. I will try to get my daughter to post pictures of the trumpets later. I love the fact they are made from wood that is native to my area. The wood in these calls is very pretty and the CA finish really sets them off.
The four trumpets on the left are made out of longleaf heart pine.
Man those trumpets are gorgeous!!
Thanks. Pine does make a pretty trumpet.
