This thread is 4 years old.  Your best bet would be to start a new thread and hope that someone sees it and isn't too wrapped up in Facebook to help you.The sad fact is though, that almost every one has left, and this forum only exist as a place to send people TO "READ" when call makers don't want to spend any time helping new people.   Which is 99% of the time. 

I'm sorry, but it is what it is.

There’s a lot of help in the tutorial section on here.  Good luck with any responses because these forums are a ghost town anymore. 

I don’t know why but these forums have pretty much died off.  You would want to clue your photo to the soundboard under the striking surface.  As long as the proper space between the soundboard and striking surface is there you shouldn’t have issues with the sound.

This link will tell you what you want to know.

found a guy up in Bills Creek NC who had some wormy american chesnut he wanted to sell.  Interesting story.....he found the log buried when he was cutting down an elm tree to take to his saw mill.  Dug it out with his skid steer.  Had to call an Ag extention agent because he had no idea what it was.  Cut it up about 17 years ago and its been sitting in the back of a building athis sawmill since.

Managed to find a 2 x 8 x 8 without too much rot in it, and a 1 x 10 x 4

Cut it all up last night.  Cant wait to turn some calls out if it

Excuse the condition of my workbench....LOL.....Im in the middle of spring cleaning my shop
