Title: AGAIN???
Post by: Yotehntr on May 28, 2011, 02:37:14 PM
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.

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.
