Title: Had to do one for myself
Post by: callmakerman on March 20, 2017, 07:18:20 PM
Been turning strikers for the last  three months on my days off and today I did one for me. I broke the shaft off my softalker striker last fall and needed a new striker for this season and since I had to do one I went to town. I've had two nice snakewood shorts and a thin board that I have been saving for the right time. I also had some nice white stuff that I've been sitting on for a few years so it was time to go to work. I couldn't be happier with the results as both strikers and the softaker pot sound so nice. My original pot is mesquite and I love the sound of it but man this snakewood sounds sooooo nice. I'll see what the season brings.http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/Smileys/classic/cool.gif (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a336/callmakerman/IMG_0834_zpslyeh0lj8.jpg) (http://s14.photobucket.com/user/callmakerman/media/IMG_0834_zpslyeh0lj8.jpg.html) (http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a336/callmakerman/IMG_0835_zpsezdwwyux.jpg) (http://s14.photobucket.com/user/callmakerman/media/IMG_0835_zpsezdwwyux.jpg.html)

Thanx for the kind words. For those that don't know, this is my version of the of DD Adams stop sign call. The palm of your hand helps make a sound chamber. This call is not for loud calling but more for the soft tree yelps with some great clucks and purrs.
