Title: Painted soundboard
Post by: TauntoHawk on March 23, 2018, 11:13:43 AM
Would painting on the soundboard change or deaden a call build sound at all. I know call makers have stickers on glass and laser engraving on slate and such not sure I've seen painted sound boards wonder if have much effect at all.

I haven't seen much change but would think a sticker or feather would have to  change tone some but never tried either just paint them

I use decals, paint, and feathers. Never could tell the difference. Now, if you applied a ridiculously excessive amount of paint, I would assume that would definitely do something to change the sound.

Thanks I figured if a feather didn't do much paint wouldn't either.

My wife has recently dabbled in painted turkey feathers, which had me thinking it would be cool to have her paint on a soundboard and stick it inside a pot call or two.

Here is some of the feathers and such she's done think she could do some cool looking soundboards (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180324/53e6d1d8c18293be2b31437ee98de56e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180324/a82ff5455aabb2a04aae5bead2a03c01.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180324/e19c3c5f4af74340a16d2c185c3a5373.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180324/e486b5f859cbba1b725486a0ff444bbb.jpg)

"Dabbled"

Maybe a bit of an understatement. That's unbelievable

Appreciate the kind comments she's very talented at most anything she applies herself to that are of a creative or artistic nature. She's working on some really cool pieces for a wounded warrior turkey hunt we participate in coming up in May.

I think it'll be really cool to have a glass or crystal call with a painting on the soundboard.

Yeah unfortunately full-time work and two little kids doesn't leave her enough time to paint alot(they do take several hours). I tried to get her to make enough to fuel my call addiction lol but I seem to keep each one she makes
