Anyone know what type of wood this is? The last picture is beside an Osage for reference.

Ossage the new one will look like the old one in a few years.

Quote from: ol bob on March 12, 2021, 08:33:30 AMI wondered the same thing. But the numbers and only being made a month apart had me questioning myself. And thanks for the reply. Here is a look at what I am carrying opening day here in GA. Two fine pieces of work.

I love how Osage is like a fine wine and just gets prettier with age as it changes to that honey brown color. You have 2 killer calls right there for opening day from 2 of finest.

I would say Osage. It will darken up over the next few years.

Billy starts over at number 1 after he's gets to 1000. I only know this because I asked him this question last week.

Is there a way to keep osage from turning? I love to watch them turn, but it would be nice to keep one at it's original light color.

Osage and African Blackwood to name a few woods are all effected by ultra violet light which over time will cause the wood to patina and change color. I too love to see how the different woods age over time. I have an African Blackwood call that when I turned that call for myself was one of the most beautiful pieces of AFB that I made a call from with beautiful visible grain. Now that same call is as black as a piece of coal. The grain is still there but I almost have to put a pair of magnifiers on to see it that's who much it has changed color.
To slow down the process keep the call in a dark place with the least amount of exposure to UV light, that at least will slow down the process and has been my experience.
But as a call maker, and I am sure I speak for pretty many of us we like to see our calls being put to use so that pretty much blows that theory out of the water, LOL.
