Camphor Burl Trumpet(updates with soundfile)

[TRKYHTR]

I didn't know much about Camphor burl before today. I bought this piece of wood because it had some real good grain and some red eyes. Well as soon as I started turning it the smell was strong. I knew the smell but couldn't place it until my wife got home and I showed her. She said thats the stuff they make Campho fenique(sp) you dummy. That was it. Also the smell was the strongest when I would turn the red eyes in the wood. This call turned out great and sounds better than it looks. Going to the classies.

Nice one! Well done Joe

[drenalinld]

Very nice! My chest just cleared up!

Beautiful caller Joe, usually the smell is worth it!

[handcannon]

Great looking trumpet Joe! You can call it the medicine stick. If the inside was left uncoated, it probably would clear up your chest like drenalinld said. I always thought that campo pheniqe was man made and not from a tree. Guess I'm a dummy too.

That is a pretty call. You do not see many things made from Camphor wood. It is one of the hardest trees in the world. I had a running battle with a camphor I was trying to get rid of; it took a couple of years to get the mission accomplish. Finally pull the stump out with my pickup.
