What are you and bill talking about  *peep*

Jeff about 8 years ago Bill sent me some olive wood to make a box call from I tried to over achieve and ended up failing to get a good call from the olive wood of all the different woods that Bill has challenged me with the olive wood is my black eye ;D
The call was not bad until I got over confident and ruined it  *peep* The subject tends to surface on occasions  *lol*
I know what your saying Mike. I've done a few with Olive and they sound good when you first play them, but the more you play it or work with it the worst it gets. I made myself one that really sounded good until I started running some hard cuts and fly downs cackles on it, I set it down and tried running it again a couple hours later and it wouldn't play? The oils in Olive wood will  kill the call shortly after you run it  *cry*. The only thing made with Olive wood are trumpets and strikers that will play very long for hunting usage. As far as looks go, you can't beat it for a shelf call.
