Had a buddy in Texas ask me to make one out of Buckeye Burl several months ago...had a heck of a time finding some. Finaly found a good supply. It's a Stabilized Buckeye Burl barrel with an o-ring fitted Antler toneboard. I'm hopping he likes it.

That sure is a pretty call. I like that wood. If the guy happens to be crazy and doesn't like it, I know a fella in N.Y. who does. :roflmao:
John

Pat
WOW! :bowingsmilie:
GO BUCKEYES !!
:doh2: Sorry about that!! :laf:
That is one SAWEEET lookin piece of work you got there!! :yoyo:
Thanks guys! I really like this one. I've been trying to add some pics to my hompage, I've already put this one in. :biggrin:
I too like the Buckeye Burl, but what sets that call off for me is the antler toneboard. Looks great.
Jerry
Wow,
That's a beautiful call.
Jim
What Jerry said, and I'll add, "When you put the two together it made a really Great Looking call."
I can't fathom anyone receiving this and not liking it.

Thank you! I went through a couple of blanks trying to make this. Everytime I'd get to the size I was after I'd hit a void :argh: man that's frustrating. Have about $10 in the trash can LOL. One of the file 13 pieces had about 10 voids looked like swiss cheese. Looked good on the outside but you never know with a burl.
Try turning it down to pen size. :laf:
You sure saved a real nice piece for the end result tho. :yoyo:
I think those other blanks just didn't feel worthy of this call & gave up on YOU. :wink: Kinda like blank suicide. :laf: :laf:
Love that burl! You did a fine job with it! :bowingsmilie:
WOW Again.......I cant stop looking at it!.... :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:
That is some awesome looking wood right there. Nice job, which reminds me, I gotta get your banner thingy changed out :doh2:
