new Thang fer me

[misfire]

Decided to broaden my horizons and try something new. These are the first two deer grunters I have ever made, my son laid claim to #1, which is a persimmon barrel and a bloodwood insert


This is #2, a redwood bur barrel and a figured maple insert

[Bills Custom Calls]

Both are nice looking calls

I really like #1 style the most

   I'm of the opinion that our fearless leader has got permission and persimmon .

   Good looking deer gatherer's right there.  What does a Persimmon tree look like .

[Carolina Coyote]

Barry, If you have never seen a Persimmon or ate one I will have another little project to introduce you to another first in your life. I will take pictures of some Persimmon Trees for you, The Persimmons when ripe are taste but when green will make you  BUT wildlife love them, Deer, Fox,Coyote, during hunting season around a Persimmon tree is the place to be. I killed two Fox last year one evening under a persimmon Tree and Missed another one. cc

I have turned some persimmon before it has been awhile ago and if I look I might have a piece in the shop
And it makes a great sounding call

They used to use Persimmon to make the heads of golf club drivers. -They still do I'd imagine.  A very dense wood, with a good impact resistance.
