A Cherry Blossom
« on: March 22, 2012, 10:52:38 AM »
All naked Cherry Box from wood provided by the hunter in Ohio and harvested a little over 1 year ago from his family's farm.  I was able to get it dried, but the block of wood had its challenges with sap wood and a lot of dark inclusions that you can still see that in many areas weakened the wood.  In the end I managed to carve out what I needed and the whole call is from the original block.  This was THE MOST difficult call I have ever tuned...being all cherry it left little flexibility in varying density, but through a slow process it turned to be stuffed full of hen feathers!  The wood burning is all at the hunter request, morels, buckeye leaf & fruit and a pair of gobblers out cruising and feeding on insects.  Sure hope he likes it and teaches those mid-Ohio gobblers a lesson next month.

Funny you mention that Steve...I had called the customer and told him I was done with wood burning and the first thing he asked was, "Did you remember the spiny fruit with the leaf"  Dang I thought...yep I did, so on it went, but yes, I tucked it behing to reinforce the 3D effect.
