Bits of Jealousy

[davisd9]

I will be the first to admit that I do not have an artistic bone in my body. To me trumpets, and most all turkey calls, are pieces of folk art. The craftsmanship that so many builders have is just amazing to me. I wish that I have the artistic ability that some have in their pinky finger. How they can take a piece of wood, plastic, resin, etc and turn it into something beautiful. Thankfully I am friends with a few of them and I can live vicariously through their work as they share photos of the calls they are putting out of their shop.

Anyway, I will be sending this piece of rosewood and ivory to my builder of choice. I do not know his timeline but I know when he begins his work he will turn this in one of his turkey killing pieces of art. The wait will be long, but worth the wait. I cannot wait until the artist reveals his masterpiece!

Agreed, there are some talented callmakers here and enjoy seeing the work they put out. Looking forward to see this masterpiece.

Those raw products should make an awesome horn!

Yessir, going to turn into a fine turkey killing instrument!

I'm the one who's jealous...of the sweet trumpet you're going to be getting. Can't wait to see it.

Well I cut the blank and sent half with the fossil ivory to a builder today. The hard part now, the wait.

Ordered another piece of ivory and waiting for it to come in the mail and then I will send it and the other half to another builder.

Anxious to see.....

[davisd9]

Well I got a picture from the artist, could not be more pleased and cannot wait to have it in my hands!
