Mentors Masters and a hunk of wood

[paboxcall]

Well done my friend, all were perfect choices. What a terrific outcome for your journey.

[Will]

Great story and nice callers!

You saw the potential lying there in that wood pile. That box set is on another level, and the horns are killer too. They'll always trigger special memories for you of an important person, a formative time. Congrats!

What a great story and a great way to remember your friend.

I watched a Neil Cost video a couple decades ago where Neil described the characteristics of a suitable piece of box call lumber.  I saw most all of them in that piece of walnut and the wheels started to turn.

I also fetched a piece of 8/4" cherry from that pile.....

That cherry would pair well with that extra lid!

Nice! At first I tought you were going to do a shotgun stock and a forearm with it, with the lenght given...

Cherry is overlooked a lot of times, it makes an awesome pot call... My favorite pot call is made from some old cherry...

Just delivered a pair of big ol' cherry slabs and a hunk of nice, clear black locust to a fellow today.

Might be a while.  But, there'll be pics to come some day.
