Wormy Chestnut by the Creek
« on: August 27, 2012, 09:33:08 PM »
This is a very old piece of American Chestnut...best I can tell is the fact that I could clearly counted 167 growth rings in the chunk I got from a beam in an old barn (built in 1852) so that makes the wood according to my math, no less than 327 years old.  I matched it up with a Walnut lid and base and tossed in some Padauk spacers and Wanut end blocks.  Chestnut is EXTREMELY diffucult to burn due to the very hard growth rings and the soft wood between.  I hate  *cry* to burn Chestnut, but love  ;) the sound.  This call is headed to S Carolina to a guy who lived in NY for 42 years.  Took a walk in the woods this am and captured the pics along the rocky creek bank.  I attempted to attach a link to a youtube video of the call--I promise no white chicken legs. ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO  Thanks for looking.
Scott

Thanks guys, well I am not very happy with the sound volume...something happens in uploading to youtube so I am looking into another site...either that or I was to far away from the camera?

I was disappointed in the volume on my videos as well. I wonder if that should tell us something about how loud we think we are calling? I did not notice a difference in playing the original videos on my laptop and replaying them on youtube after uploading. If you find a better way, I would sure like to know. A much better camera for filming hunts and a high quality remote microphone are on my want list...lol
