Bill,

Good looking calls and I too really like the enclosed reed call. I am thinking that the mouthpiece is Cocobolo, but am not sure if the barrel is Bocote burl or something else. Either way it is something else!

Yes the mouth piece is cocobola and the barrel is Bocote burl.It really was a chore to turn but I think I stopped in the right place :eyebrow:

Pretty slick Bill :yoyo:
Did ya hafta fill the knot with something?
Or just leave it a "void" ?

I filled the knot with heavy CA glue and sanded while it was wet so the sanding dust would stick.
I had a spot on the other side I had to fill also

That's what I figured, but couldn't tell for sure from the pics.
Cool call, grain's definitely got some character to it.
