Title: Ever seen coco nut??
Post by: HaMeR on April 23, 2007, 08:31:34 PM
Here's my version.  Cocobolo between walnut= coco nut. :laf:  I had two of these blanks but the other one had a hidden soft spot in the coco. It came apart on the low RPM setting with in seconds of the gouge hitting it. This one turned out alright tho. It does have the shape of a call I've seen before but I'm not sure. Anywho,, here itis!! It's not voiced yet. I need to get some reeds.

Thanks Brad. I have another glueup in the clamps right now. It is 2 one inch thick pieces of  wood that appears to have some figure to it. Tomorrow!!

You guys are a lot better at this sort of thing than I am.

I did a glue-up last summer out of Ebony and Hackberry that I designed to be a howler. I didn't like it right away so it didn't even get hollowed out. It's still being kicked around the basement.

Maybe I'll finish it off just for fun one of these days to add a little comic relief.
