Some odds and ends...

[HuntnCarve]

Had some odds and ends pieces of Black walnut and Mahogany that need a home.  This is what I put together...



Here's a Cherry call that I finished up.  Figured I would take a break from carving on it, so I went with a couple of stippled bands...



Thanks for looking!

I like it. How'd you do that top one? I wanna call it laminate but clearly it's the opposite. Nicely done.

How'd you do that top one?

Just like he said, just throw some odds and ends together, and then add a little glue or something.

Very nice calls, Dave.

Jim,

You laminate a strip of contrasting wood between two layers of the same colored wood.  Then you split the piece 90 degrees from parallel..Re-glue another contrasting strip into the original pieces.  Looking at the end of the lamination it would look like a "plus sign' or crosshair pattern.  Then you cross cut this lamination into sections.  Rotate the sections 90 degrees to each other, while gluing a thin piece of contrasting wood between the layers.  Then turn it all on the lathe.... Simple!   Basically an all day project.

Dave,

I think you lost us at 'laminate'.
