I came to the realization that my customers have been getting my best work and I've been hunting with calls that were flawed in one way or another for the last couple years. Just ain't right!!! So last night I decided to take a one night break from customer orders and turned a nice call for my vest this season. Dug through the woodpile for something nice and decided to use a piece that Steve with Reelseatblanks.com sent to me in the box with his turnathon donation. Awesome piece of wood. It is northern hard maple burl, sporting a Velvit oil finish.
Didn't have anything that would be a good match to make a striker from, so I opted for good sound over good looks. The striker is a piece of curly purpleheart (the curl doesn't show up in the pic for some reason).
This call is set up with slate over glass. Pretty sure I've never made a better sounding call.
