My first Reelfoot.

[Joe Short]

A HUGE  to Henry! I appreciate you answering the many questions I had without throwing a rock at my face.
So here's the first one, it's not without its flaws but it quacks (like an Aardvark)!
Macassar Ebony with a Ziricote insert and a Redheart wedge.

Joe, I knew it wouldn't be long before you had one made up. Looks great! 


" (like an Aardvark)!"    You had to be there. 

[Henry H]

Awesome, Joe!  That finish is flawless, and I really like the shape, too.  Congrats!  Kind of fun, isn't it?

Great to get that first one behind you!  Call looks great and the finish appears flawless.

Hope you are hooked on them now!

Joe, that is so awesome!  I've seen your finish in person... I know that thing is "Super Blingin"!  I know Henry has some strong shoulders... after all the questions we bombarded him with during our visit and he so graciously obliged!  Way to go again Joe, that call is amazing.... Aardvark or not !!!

Thanks guys! Fred, there's certainly a hump to be gotten over, but it does feel amazing to have completed such a significant (to me) call. I can't thank all of you Reelfoot callmakers enough. Henry, kind of fun is how you make it look, incredibly difficult is how this first one went! I'm sold on them though, maybe even addicted... I love the history and feel lucky to have you experts to share that and your methods of crafting them.
