Shocker that somehow you would incorporate hedge into the deal! :hysterical: :hysterical:  Maybe a hybrid with some solder or brass spacers and hedge. Looks pretty good to me!

I sure do want to thank everyone for their comments, suggestions, and kind words. After much deliberation and thought, I have come up with a somewhat unique idea on what to do with the toneboard. I am going to make a combination of the acrylic and a very rare domestic native american hardwood that has very good tonal qualities and hardness................

Is there a prize for accurately guessing the name of that rare domestic hardwood?

I work with a bit of Inlace Acrylester and after a year of testing different calls in the field it is importan that you leave no sharp edges, they will chip. I chipped out a few calls just everyday use and the chip was always on an edge. The stuff is pretty, but brittle....not to mention toxic. I suit up full respirator, faceshield, body suit, air filtration and dust collector turned on. Then I take a shower after I'm done! :rofl: That inlace dust gets everywhere!!! Other than that, your call looks really nice!! :beer:

My source of this material told me today it is acrylic, not acrylester. Personally, I couldn't tell the difference if my life depended on it, and as it turns out, I guess it does!  He assured me it is acrylic!

Great job Kitch! 
Your one step ahead of me.  I have some acrylic, but never got around to playing with it yet.

Beautiful call there buddy.   :bigup: :beer:
