The first one is Dymondwood.

This one is colorwood. The mark about an inch from the bottom is the darker wood coming through not a blemish. I should have stopped a couple rotations earlier or later I guess. LOL

John, those look great.
I have some of that fancy wood a comin. Might be here today. I hope I can make a few calls that look comparable to your work but that will be hard to do.
John,
Nice looking calls. I really enjoy working Dymondwood. Well, make that when it is done I enjoy it. :biggrin: The stuff is HARD!
Jerry
You don't have any worries about keeping up with me Gene. :roflmao:
I like the calls too Jerry when they are done. I never seen a wood chip come off it, just dust. LOL.
John
John,
Take a sharp 1 inch skew and shove it in to fast and you will see chips, chunks, and possibly your skew go flying by. I have only had mine skate a couple of times and that was bad enough for me.
Jerry
:roflmao: That's funny. I'll take your word for it. I'm trying to decide if I want to go out in my cold unheated shop and turn another one. I know I'm getting old because I see myself thinking about the temp. before I go out to the shop. LOL.
