I turned this squirrel call out of a chunk of Bradford Pear wood a few months back. The wood was from a tree a neighbor had me cut down many years back. I came across it many years later, tucked away in the loft of my shed. It had dried nicely, and looked interesting enough for me to give it a try on the new lathe.
As is usually the case with me, I let the call sit a spell as I procrastinated over what I wanted to carve on it? Yesterday I finally sat down, carved it, and hand painted it. Turned out pretty good. Even the squirrels off the back deck seem to like it.
Thanks for looking!
