Also of note, something a little different for me, I darkened the brass ferrules on these 4 instead of bright polished brass.

Oh I noticed. Love it on the ABW call of yours and looks really good on that delrin.
Looking to buy Allen Dunfee scratch boxes.

I think I even made the brass on your ABW a little darker than these.

Ah yeah, quite a bit darker, just takes a little more time to get it there, but no big deal.

Desert ironwood for sure for me as a pick.  All look good but that's my choice

Yeah, Desert Ironwood is always a looker. I hardly ever turn Cocobolo, and thought this one had cool color to it.

Me too....I have only used it on a few trumpets so far, but they have sounded great, pretty musical wood for sure.

It appears as though the bells flare a little more on these too

Good eye.....They are not that different, but do flare a tad more. I have to be super careful when trying to make these bells, as one little slip means scrap wood. I like the feel of these bells when playing, seems like the extra little lip helps playability.
