a Buice trifecta
« on: October 04, 2013, 10:42:59 AM »
Last year in Nashiville -I picked up two burls from a guy that caught my eye. They were Ziricote, and Paela burls. Skip forward to a recent visit to Billy's home with my buddy Stafford, I figured it was time to drop off the wood and get Mr Billy to make his magic on them.
While there, I also found another horn that caught my eye....old growth Lignum Vitae. Billy and Sid kept playing a 6 1/2" horn that sounded really good , so it was the Lignum in that size and the two Burls I chose in his standard 6" design. Got me a number of different mouth pieces to go with them . Thanks Billy for the trifect of killa calls from your shop friend.
from left to right is the Lignum Vitae, Paela, and the Ziricote

Billy is one great call maker.  I have several of his boxes and we traded yelpers some years ago.  One box has a deep hollow sound, my favorite.  I tell folks it only calls three year old birds.  If they don't come in, they must grow another year!  ROTFLMBO

Jeff, the calls turned out very nice.  I like the Ziracote but I also like the Paela. I enjoyed our visit with Billy and hope we can do it again soon.
