A little lipstick...

Waiting for the gobble....now to woodburn the soundboard....

[Tarheel]

Sorry, I'm trying to get up my post count....

Marvin i can't wait for your 101 post!!

[Tarheel]

It's only taken me two years to get to 55....

[Tarheel]

OK, a little something different....I haven't decided yet if I like it or not.  I had four identical old growth teak scratchboxes, and I wanted to do something I hadn't done before...so here is #1 of 4.

[Tarheel]

And here are all four...it almost looks like they were laser engraved, but if you look closely they have slight differences. It was an effort...and one time is enough.

nice, i need to see some hen boxes, trying to help on the post count..

[Tarheel]

Unfortunately, the hen boxes will have to wait until after I finish up the trumpet callers I have to make.  I got into some Honduras rosewood...then African blackwood...and found out I had developed allergies to both...now have to recover from the rash of that experience...still having trouble bending my fingers. My shop is so small, I have to do what I am going to do to make one caller, then set up for the next...there's no diversification in my shop....trying to have a few callers to take to Unicoi....

Those shut-mouth gobblers absolutely could not resist talking back to this one...guaranteed...LOL!!! 

[Tarheel]

Storm coming...with the dark spalting of the maple it's difficult to see the detail, but it's there. Regardless, it is what it is....

[Tarheel]

Wow...I'm up to 71...now 72....my goal is to get to 100 before Christmas. 

[Tarheel]

I like maple for a scratchbox...kee kees...and woodburns nicely.....

[Tarheel]

So...I got in too big of a hurry and glued up this scratchbox backwards....which with the carved handle means it's is set-up for operating left-handed.  I'm not left-handed.  It is obvious my playing skills left-handed are non-existent...LOL!!! But I don't think I'll throw this one in the fire....

89 now 90....
