This one has been in the works for about 3 months.  I found some nice buckeye burl and shipped it off for stabilizing.  The piece I originally planned to turn for him... well, lets just say I blew that one... it was incredible... just before I got my gouge in too deep and ripped a chunk out of the side...AAAHHHHHH!!!!  This one was the second try.  I'll be assembling it this weekend.  The buyer is a service member stationed in Afghanistan.  He ordered a couple of other calls shortly before Christmas.  He liked those so well, he just had to have one of the buckeye burl calls after seeing a picture of one I made a couple of years back.  I quoted him $120, as I hadn't been able to find nice buckeye burl in some time.  I also have 4 shipping charges involved in the blanks from purchase to shipping to customer, as well as $11 per pound of wood in stabilizing. I hope he likes it.  I do have one more blank of this wood... just in case.

Wendell, that is one of the prettiest calls I think I have ever seen.  You give me a little time and we are going to hook up.  I have always wanted one of your pots.  I love those laminates that you recently done as well.  Do you have anymore of that there feathercrotch walnut that you made on that laminate call that was so pretty?
