yellow cedar burl with cocobolo
« on: February 24, 2014, 09:22:35 PM »
Dave previewed this in another thread, and I had time this evening to finish it up.  The barrel is stabilized yellow cedar burl and the insert is cocobolo.  The barrel went through a series of tung oil baths before being polished and buffed.  The insert is natural, polished and buffed.  C and C welcomed!  This one is going to a fundraising auction for my son's school.

Folks, I can tell you the pics do not do this call justice. Amazing craftsmanship on some amazing wood.

Thanks, guys!  I don't have half the talent most of you do - making a good looking call is easy when you start with wood like this!

Nice work.  I have been following your posts on the machine shop forum, how about some pics on here of your progress?
