Had some odds and ends pieces of Black walnut and Mahogany that need a home. This is what I put together...

Here's a Cherry call that I finished up. Figured I would take a break from carving on it, so I went with a couple of stippled bands...

Looking good!

I like it. How'd you do that top one? I wanna call it laminate but clearly it's the opposite. :confused: Nicely done.

Just like he said, just throw some odds and ends together, and then add a little glue or something.
Very nice calls, Dave.
Jim,
You laminate a strip of contrasting wood between two layers of the same colored wood. Then you split the piece 90 degrees from parallel..Re-glue another contrasting strip into the original pieces. Looking at the end of the lamination it would look like a "plus sign' or crosshair pattern. Then you cross cut this lamination into sections. Rotate the sections 90 degrees to each other, while gluing a thin piece of contrasting wood between the layers. Then turn it all on the lathe.... Simple! :wink: Basically an all day project.

Dave,
I think you lost us at 'laminate'.
Jerry
Sweet! Love the odds and ends. :congrats:
Yea, you lost us at "laminate"
