Not all Hedge Reelfoot calls crack
« on: January 16, 2015, 04:30:23 PM »
Kiln dried hedge or old hedge, it does not seem to matter. Made three of these recently and found cracks in 2 and made them firewood.  This one  came out crack free!
My Oscar Quam style with Bocote insert sleeved with delrin. Black micarta band, wedge and accents and a little red stripe for color.
