Box Elder Burl whistle
« on: June 11, 2013, 09:38:33 AM »
Well, like many of you I received an email from Wildfowl Magazine to test some whistles from various call makers. After many hours thinking about this I finally decided what the heck.. This is what I am sending, Box elder Burl, Mesquite burl Laminate with an axis Antler lip rest and a CA finish.. If it dont sound good at least it looks nice... :rofl:

Thank you all for your kindness.. I know Aaron is the Whistle King but I am more than happy to give you any pointers along your way FDR!!

Bill, I started with a one inch blank, The top holes are 1/4"  Have a look at Aarons tutorial and you will find a wealth of information..

I gave the editor your name Robert, and you go and show me up!   :censored:   Just kidding, that's a beautiful call.  I'm sending some in as well, but they're "standard issue" stuff....Nice whistles but no glue-ups.

Thank you Aaron!! I talked to John this afternoon, he told me! I was planning a better thank you but you beat me to it.. I am only sending one and as an armature I am a little nervous!! If you get featured I want an autograph copy. That way I can say I knew him when!! Ha! Thank you for helping me get this opportunity!
