That's the best looking piece of apple I've seen. All I've ever seen is straight grained stuff. Cool.

Al,

Really like the grain in that one.  Sort of looks like a feather in the one picture.

By the way, BILL (as in Bill's Custom Calls) has two L's.     :biggrin:

Thanks fellas.......
The wood is an Apple tree branch.........damaged in a storm a couple of years ago.......I saved it to see what it might become....I could see the grains of the wood real good if I worked at it in the light but It just did not jump at ya.....so I stained it....the limb was only about a half an inch larger round than the call.......thats why it has this feather effect....

I figured the ring would look nice and also keep the call from splitting due to the tapered tone board.... :wink:

Al that is one of your signatures to me :yoyo:.  I like knowing the wood came from your own trees when I buy them and thanks for doing it.  Save the saw dust from it and I'll use it to smoke some meat I can enjoy too. :wo:

Al, the figure in the call is amazing!  The top pic reminds me of layered turkey feathers.   :yoyo: :yoyo:
