Wow its been some time since I have been here, Its still an amazing place, Those whistles are off the hook,  I'm going to assume that the cnc work was an attempt to get caught up on your back log of orders and it went even crazier than before?? Good problem to have!! Beautiful calls Aaron, Kel

Thanks.  Yep, I started doing CNC'd ones in an effort to reduce the 16 month backlog.....Decrease demand for the hand-turned stuff.  It has honestly blown up in my face because a ton of people are ordering CNC'd ones because they can get them pretty quickly AND asking to be placed on the waiting list for a hand-turned one.  I can't finish sand, polish and tune them fast enough.  They're selling out quick and I can only devote a little time to working on them compared to the hand-turned ones.  Good problem to have I guess.  I started with black and ivory.  The ivory didn't sell until the black was gone.  Then everyone wanted ivory.  Now I'm out of both and everybody wants black.  I also have a couple pearl colors in the works, along with a lot of black.
