Glad you like the call. I am a fan of the tradtionaly styled calls, not a lot of frills just clean smooth lines.
The wood is stabilized maple burl dyed brown. Really narly wood. When I started with it, it had more voids and pits in it than the surface of the moon.
The finish is a CA finsih. I have been playing with the CA finsish for about a year now, and have tried several different ways of putting it on. I have modifed the way most do it to my own needs and find it a fast and durable finish that does not require any more work than any other finish. I will be working up a tutorial on it soon. I can say however, that it probably will not work with calls that are "busy" or have a lot of detail turned into them in the way of accents and coves and other embeliishments, but then again, I have not tried it on calls like that since I rarely turn them anyway.
Yes, I use the same finish on my Stabilized woods as I do non stabilized woods.
