Here is a bite reed call made from Blood Wood. I am liken this Blood Wood, man it turns nice, sands and finishes great and does not stink, the pics are not the best, I was losing light fast last night, and I have not had time to get the lights like Al suggested,,,by the way the flowers are my wifes :biggrin:

Dude, that is a beautiful call, and awesome color in that wood!
Nice call. What finish do you have on it? Turkhunter

Bloodwood is my favorite wood so far atleast. I really like the looks of it and you made that call shine. Looks great.

Nice call :eyebrow:
What did you say your using for finish
Nice design on that call - very sharp. I'm not a big fan of the heavy dip or spray type finishes, but that call looks very nice and could easily change my mind :) Great job!

Thanks guys for the kind words, in my limited experience I have found Blood Wood to be one of my favorites, I have a few ideas rattling around in my head on some glue ups with it,
I did find one wood I won't use again, East Indian Rosewood, it had some cool figure and purple, tan , colors in it I went to finish it, put the first coat on and it darked up and went flat, you could hardly see any of the charecter in the wood, so I sanded it complety down again trying to salvage it, tried a different finish, building up layer after layer, and it looked the same ,,flat and kinda brown,,,it now has its own spot on my ever growing "Shelf of Misfits"
RRRrrreal nice. Those are awesome reeds too. Where'd ya pick em up?
Those reeds came from Reese
