Another Fanning-inspired reelfoot
« on: July 16, 2014, 11:25:29 AM »
It has been a while since I posted - life has been in the way.  I've been wanting to make another call in Rip Fanning's style since I gave the last one to a close friend.  Like the last one, this one is made from walnut purchased from turkishwalnut.net.  This was a really cool piece that had a lot of blonde in it, and some nice curl to boot.  Pictures never capture the full beauty of great wood grain and figure, but I think you can see quite a bit.  This walnut was stabilized by Mel at Wood Dynamics, sanded to 600, and had tung oil rubbed in.

Costs a lot of money to look that good! Beautiful call, Henry.
