To clarify, it's not that Billy is going to stop using Lignum, it's more a situation of - Can't get any. It's banned for harvest. Only dead logs can be sold. Rare. Same with Tulipwood.

Expect more of the exotics to fall into that category soon.

I just got a 1.5"×1.5×18 blank of tulipwood. Wonder what I'm going to do with it

Crazy you got yours three years after being made and mine 6 years while being the number before.  Very cool.

Up until a year or so ago Billy would make up a good many calls out of one wood sigh and put on a rack it might take several years to sell all before he made any more of that wood. Today he has almost no stock built up and because of health and other problems I done think he ever will.

Billy called me this morning and told me he had a call I had ordered a while back done,told me he almost kept it but he knew he had promised it to me,but said in the 52 years he has made calls it is by far the prettiest Osage call he has ever turned...it's made out of an old Osage fence post someone had given him and the blank had a lot of figure but he figured he would loose most of it when he turned it,he said the opposite happened and it just kept getting better...he said it was really hard to let that one go,but he is honest and has to sleep at night so he just went ahead and boxed it up.....to say I'm excited to get this one is understatement,also got amodel and new buffalo horn #4 mouthpieces coming,I have not been able to get pictures to post lately for some reason,hopefully I will be able to when I get it in...

Greentag  sounds like what I sent him almost a year ago I came across some old growth OS sent it two Billie and a couple two another and months later I finally received M and neither look close to what I sent.  I'll never do it again ............ Just a bad experience
