Kinda getting into this... hope I'm not boring the heck out of everyone... I was pretty happy with my last carving, and thought I'd try it on a little nicer call this time. Made this out of some crotch walnut I cut myself in Beechgroove TN. a couple years ago. I put a little african blackwood tip on it... I gave an angled/inside view so the wood workers here would see that isn't a "butt joint", it is tenon fitted even though quite thin it is stair stepped to make a better joint. The o-ring fitted mouth piece is also African blackwood.... it has an oil finish I've been playing with for the carved calls.

Turned out fine. I like the accent ring on the bottom too :congrats:
Thanks ya'll! I meant to show the tip on the mouth piece... :doh2: and I wanted to "soften"? the look around the eye... not sure if you can tell in the pic.
