I have 20 10 Spalted Sycamore blanks (4x4x1 at a minimum, most slightly bigger). It has awesome spalt and is pretty solid. Some might have some minor checking that can easly be stabilized with CA glue. I have made a few call from it and finished with CA. While I am still experimenting and fine tuning my calls sound pretty good and I actually killed two (2) nice birds this year after calling them in with two (2) of my calls. 2 blanks will fit in a small flat rate box. I'm trying to get some more start up money to buy some more slate, glass and alumimum. Would like $4.00 a blank.
Oh man that call has an incredible pattern on it. Love it.
Afew more to show how great these blanks are.
Wow stunning

How do they sound
Sound good. Sound changes depending on the striker used. All will surely call turkeys. At least once a year I get a bird to fire up on a call that just does not sound good to me, but he (Mr. Gobblehead) loves it.
I have some materials that I am going to turn some one (1) and two (2) piece strikers with. My first attempts at strikers were hit and miss as I was just turning to try and make some cool patterns.
