While I was turning this one most of the burl broke out I thought I was throwing another one in the trash after
remembering a few things Al told me and alot of sanding I think I brought this one back to life

Bill,

Looks pretty good. Is the top Walnut or Rosewood? I am thinking Walnut, but it has a little of the Rosewood shades.

What ever it was that Al told ya....don't forget it cause that one looks way to good to have almost hit the trash. Great spin Mr. Bill

Looks ok from here :wink:
Are you still looking for a signature body style, or winging it?

Jerry The top piece is walnut

Thanks Danny

Jim after a chunk broke out of this maple I got upset and spent more time on the maple and kinda just winged this one out

Bill,

Some folks look as those as flaws and some look at them as treasures that add character to the call. I for one like those characters in some calls, and ya did a good job of saving it. :congrats:

The only constructive observation I have on this call is that the two woods, dont contrast well together, other then that it looks fine.

I can only imagine what that call would look like in all maple with those characteristics. :shck: :wink:

Thanks for the kind words Guys
