My first laminated call - Braz Rosewood and Chittum Burl

[Henry H]

I've been wanting to try a laminated call, and finally found some chittum burl about 3 months ago so figured why not now.  I started this call not long thereafter, but just haven't had shop time to finish until today.  It has a few flaws, as one might expect on a first try, but it sounds great and is going on my lanyard so I can live with imperfections.

The chittum is stabilized, and the whole call has been finished with tung oil and polished.  It has a german silver reed.



As always, comments and criticism welcomed.

Very nicely done!!!

Very nice call Henry. I do not see the flaws you said that are there.

How thick is the German silver reed if you don't mind.??

Thanks, guys.  Ben, I think it is .005, but I'll double check tomorrow and write back if different.

Beautiful call Henry.  One of my favorite woods!

Thanks, Fred.  Chittum is awesome stuff and I was fortunate to get a small stash.

Ben, I forgot that nickel silver is sized differently... it is 32 gauge, which is a little shy of .009", as I recall
