This one is sold...it was a request for a cherry slate w/ matching striker from a customer. I even went and designed a new striker for it.

I was wondering at first how well the feather striker would work

then I looked a little further and seen the wood striker

Nice job Steve

And that one will look even better once she's aged some.

He turned that feather HameR. Nice stuff Steve.

You got that right Glen...thats one of the best things about cherry...it just keeps on getting better.

The feather strikers a real delicate Bill, but they sound like they are all turkey

Thank you everybody...I'm all out of cherry now

I used the last bit I had on this set. Almost time for another wood run

If you make that run this way I have more cherry crotch here then I will turn of course it is still in log form

Well dang Bill...cut it up man! You guys thinking of heading over to Washington, PA in June for the trappers show?

Bills Custom Calls · May 18, 2010, 07:39:14 PM

It is dry enough to turn just haven't took the time to cut it up yet

Not sure on the Trappers Show
I doubt it since I am doing one show in June already

Coulter · May 18, 2010, 07:40:30 PM

Well keep it in mind...maybe just to come down and partake in some...ahem, refreshments.

I have a number of trees that must be taken down because of that ice storm. They were not marketable to the mills. But short sections of these will turn out quality materials. By short sections , i Mean 8 foot or less. There is a lot of cherry out there yet that I would hate to sell as fire wood. Jimmie
