A bone and a box
« on: November 19, 2012, 08:15:43 PM »
Finally getting back in the shop some. Made up a wingbone for farmer friend. He saw mine hanging round my neck this spring and had to ask..."whats that?" So....being as how he liked it and he lets me have the run of his place during the spring.... ;D Thats a NO BRAINER.  ;)


Here is something I have been tinkering with on and off for a while. A long and lean boxcall.  Similar to the Do-Dat maybe????  It is longer, shallower and more narrow than a standard shortbox, but without the handle.  This one is pecan with a walnut lid.  It has a good boxcall sound but doesn't quite make longbox status (yet).  I am thinking that those who tinkered with this type of design already were right. But gives me something to do.... ;D 2nd pic is beside my standard short box for some scale.

Awesome wingbone and the boxes are real nice. Keep at it with the box that's what keeps it fresh and fun.

Oh my those are sweet LT,  *up* *up*you can come and hunt my land anytime ;) ;)  You have a knack for finding georgeous wood, or it has a way of finding you...but no matter cause you certainly know what to do with it.  That stick of spalted pecan is stellar
