Black palm and acrylic
« on: August 17, 2010, 11:15:08 PM »
Here's one I finished up tonight.  The barrel is black palm.  Quite a nightmare to turn, but this one worked out.  Gouldman anodized band and a black acrylic insert with a single reed.  Not sure how it sounds because it is too late at night to be hail calling within 25' of my neighbors' bedroom.

That is one awesome looking call.  I love the band.  What kind of band is that?  I wish I  had that call hanging on my lanyard!

I hate to throw around the word "impossible", but a black palm toneboard might just qualify.   :yes:  That's why this one got acrylic...I don't have the guts to even put myself through that!
