Title: A few Reelfoots could have been
Post by: ben on July 20, 2013, 06:32:13 PM

Ok so I have been working on reelfoots for some time and here is some of the leavings and this is only a few . most went in trash can but saved a few just to look at.

Will have something complete in a few days.

Fun isn't it.

Can't wait to see the ones that get finished Benny. How many are you bringing in October to the Reelfoot gathering?

I have a big bag of those hanging on a peg board in my shop Ben.  They are there to remind me to not cut the tone channel too deep! A "too deep" tone channel will not tune properly. The call will quack and chuckle but not "high ball".  Common mistake in making Reelfoots!

Keep making chips you will get there.

If all goes well I plan to bring several. Got to try sell a couple to re=coup so I can make some more.

Looking forward to Reelfoot.

When they are ready for Reelfoot, pick out a good one and put my name on it. And let me know how much I need to bring to Reelfoot for it.
