From firewood to box caller

[triune]

Usually it works the other way around for me, build a caller then start a fire with it.  But a buddy brought me two maple logs about 20" long and was wondering if I could make a call out of it.  I cut the blanks in 2011 and made his caller this spring.  Usually don't even mess with spalted silver maple because it decays so quick.  This is the second one from this wood and both have turned out really well.  This one is topped with a redheart paddle and real nasty.  Thanks for the look!

Nice one Kenny! My brother has some nice cherry on his porch I've been noticing,lol, and my sister gave up some tiger maple for the cause!

That's a hot little fire stick ya got there.

Glad to see there's other crazy people like me rummaging through the old wood box.

I have to be careful, my stack by the saw is getting bigger than what I have left to heat my shop!  Spring needs to quit teasin us here in IN.
Thanks for all the kind words!
