Here's my Buice Lignum Vitae set. The wood tends to darken with age.

Yeah, the LV is a beautiful wood. I build acoustic guitars so I have used lots of beautiful woods, but never touched LV.

That is a beautiful set!

Congrats on a great trumpet!  You got a good one for sure!
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

I just looked up the Janka Hardness of Lignum Vitae, on my chart there is no wood harder.  I have built with some woods that were rough on tools, this stuff must be murder.

Loosely translated Lignum Vitae means " wood of life"

My Buice LV calls have been the "wood of death" for more than a few Longbeards. Good thing you saw this before I did..

Great calls. Billy takes pride in finding true LV, which according to him is scarce anymore. Definitely a hard wood that eats up tools.It has great tonal quality.

Yes, I read about an Argentine LV, it is still very hard, but not like the "real" LV. Glad to find this one, should be a lifer....if I can figure out how to play it....

Patience, practice, and less air is more, the call you are getting will help with the learning curve as well.

Greg,
There was a mix up on the wood on my part. I sent you a pm. The wood is English Oak made Dec 2014 # 604. It's a light colored wood. And has a no 5 mouthpiece. I hope you didn't send the money order yet. Please advise what you would like me to do.
Thanks
Mike
