Thanks for the kind words fellers

Hey Pimp
I didn't give any of the spalted walnut to Jimmie he got some of the Highly figured walnut
I kept the really good stuff for myself

Does that sound selfish :confused: :laf:

Hey, Bill

I just have to ask... Did you get any cherry crotch in the deal ? :roflmao:

Seriously, that is a quite unique looking call. :highclap:

You all know I'm not a call maker but I'm curious...
I read about the super glue finish, it sounds like a good idea. Would something like that not help harden and stabilive the softer parts in the wood?

Chet

I haven't got a ~~virgin crotch~~ cherry crotch in a long time :roflmao: :roflmao:

I have never used the super glue finish so can't really answer that truthfully,but it sure seems like it should
