I use blades with 3-4 TPI and mainly 1/2" wide but if I could find some 3/4" wide I would use them. I know I can have them custom made but haven't done it yet.

What Braz said :bigup:  There are bandsaw blades and there are Timber Wolf blades, they are not the same thing.  One works the other one works miracles. 

If you are cutting duck call toneboards buy yourself a CHEAP scroll saw or bandsaw, save your good bandsaw with the Timber Wolf blades for cutting wood.  The hardened duck call jigs will ruin a blade by just touching it.
