The last keeper Turpin that I made was in 3/97. I made it for my nephew from a piece of Whiskey Island Walnut next to the sapwood. It had a persimmon lid and would do it all. I showed it several times in Nashville and almost lost that call to Shawn Irish and several others. It was nothing to look at but I have been looking for some air dried walnut like that ever since. Got to talking to fine Callmaker that had some and I got a few pieces. Here is a call that is defiantly a keeper and will not get away from me this time! I put a Whiskey Island piece of walnut for a lid. Thanks for the look, Mr. E
