Okay ....here's my schedule for the remainder of the season

[Old Gobbler]

I this weekend is spoken for with family etc...


Next weekend I'm hunting, there is a possibility that I might make a call or two between then and now , other than that it will be mid to late April before I get rolling with calls in a serious pace  I'll be making calls through May in the hopes of getting everyone a nice call possibly June

Everyone loves Snakewood ! But the prices are super high and the quality is scarce , the wood if you buy in small quantities is worth more than the calls I sell , so I get it in Logs to save my customers some $$ , ...I'll have to collect a little more to cover the cost of the log .. probably $50 ish dollars more than my  normal price  ..I might make one or two with mammoth ivory Inlays

Now ...let me make you aware I scored a spectacular log of Snakewood , the reason I only got a few calls done this week is because I spent a good amount of time "breaking down " that log into useable sizes I need ...this one log I got super lucky on , it was very expensive , but like a pro I extracted out enough check-free pieces , got lucky ...it's probably the best log I've ever had  ....

I hope all of you have safe seasons ..see you all soon Shannon

Thanks for the update Shannon, I can't wait to see the snakewood push pins you make with that special log.

Out of curiosity, what is your preferred way to break down logs without a sawmill? Vertical band saw/table saw combination?

table saw , with a special blade ..  I have bandsaws but the wobble on the cut will cost you some pieces ...

Sometimes I encapsulate the log in a jig so that the cuts are 90 degrees , thin kerf blades build up less heat .. a slow steady pace with a table saw with some "umph" and some experience will get you some nice pieces ...

Snakewood is extremely hard , and I have to be mindful of checks breaking off and flying at you

I am very interested in a call and snakewood would be my first choice but I would take creosote log.  I appreciate your effort to get your calls to those that will use them.  I am definitely in that category BUT my internet connection is so slow that I can not successfully compete with your current system.  ( And I am old and slow.)

+1 with WAGinVa
I tried my best but my phone connection is way too slow. But I definitely want 1.

Thnx

don't worry I'll probably put in some post count minimums and I might possibly do a request or two if I get time in may ...

[zelmo1]

Ok boss, thanks. I'd like to put in a request for one of those mammoth ivory calls, lol.  Z

[Rickv]
