Started this one Thursday night, finished it Friday night. It is the first call from a huge piece of ambrosia maple that I bought at Woodcraft.....I never buy wood there but saw this 12" wide x 10' long piece and paid a premium for it, against my better judgement. The call is slate over glass and is finished with three coats of tru-oil. The striker has a pecan peg.
It isn't for a customer. I'm trying to get some turkey calls made and ready to ship for those customers that inevitably call me a week before the season and want a call immediately and can't wait on something to be made for them. Hope to have a couple dozen on hand by March, and it is safe to say a number of them are going to be ambrosia maple!
