Title: Maple Burl
Post by: Waylon at JWT Custom Game Calls on February 19, 2015, 02:01:03 PM

Here's a small bore Reelfoot I just finished up. Did a little checkering on this one. It's only my third attempt at checking, turned out alright, just a few mistakes. Maple Burl with African Blackwood insert.

Thanks for looking. Waylon

Thanks guys. Ben, I think it sounds pretty good. Been experimenting with the tonechannel and the slope and length of it. This is by far the best sound out of one I have got. Big thanks to Henry for the pointers on what to try.
