Title: Getting ready for spring
Post by: Curtis270 on February 05, 2022, 06:58:52 PM
Made myself a call it's black walnut slate over glass and some tungsten 20ga as well as picked up some jlh strikers. Edited with a better picture below.

The pic is very small.  But it looks like a very nicely figured piece of walnut.

I never made very many friction calls.  Probably less than 50.  But most were walnut slate-over-glass.  And the nicer the figure, the harder the wood was to work out nicely, BUT the better it sounded. 

You should have you a winner right there !!!!    :icon_thumright:

Wanna see pics with that call laying on feathers, brother !!!!

Thanks y'all it was my first call my buddy just bought a small laser for wood so we tried it out the skull came out nice but the turkey tracks kind of burned in. As for the wood it turned out to be a very nice piece the tru oil really brought out the figure. I'm sorry about the small pic I couldn't really figure out how to get one to post.
