Ringed Gidgee Trumpet

[Chris O]

Another great looking call Greg

Maybe to pretty to hunt with, I would be so paranoid about breaking, would end up in display case. Great job on another fine trumpet.

Have looked for a blank of the Ringed Gidgee.  It is some beautiful stuff.  Seems like every piece I come across is either too small for a call or a piece longer than one call but too small for two calls.

Very nice looking call!

Thanks......It was not easy to find/buy way back when, not sure what it would be like purchasing good stuff today. I am going to see if my contact is still selling blanks.

How big does a blank have to be for a trumpet?

Guess it depends on the builder and his finished specs, I like to start with 1 3/8" x 1 3/8" x 6 1/2", but could go slightly smaller if need be.

Greg is right but the usual answers is 1.5 x 1.5 x 6. That give the builder room to work but much larger you get a lot of waste. I have had one builder that says 1.25 x 1.25 and he is good.

Thanks for the reply's fellows.

It'll surely be pretty sitting beside this one.

Love the call but the gun really speaks to me.  Beautiful job on the receiver.

Beautiful call Greg.

Thank you sir....and thanks for all the compliments guys.

I was able to chat with my Aussie logger contact, looks like he will be able to get me some more Ringed Gidgee blanks once he returns from the bush. His stock was excellent last time, not sure when I will get them, but good chance I will....Woohoo
