Thought I'd share a couple firsts in the track player lineup and one special 1 of 1 call for a very good friends aunt.
First off, the worms got the best of this orange agate. And the beetles tore into this ambrosia maple. First track players in each wood and very first I've worked with ambrosia maple. Had to ask what Ambrosia meant and the trail they left behind sorta made me think of a road, so I put the turkey tracks as if it were just ah walkin' up the road. Pretty cool as the entry holes are clearly visible on the rim of the call. Looks like eleven of dem critters got thru to leave this trail of tears. Tough toothed critters no doubt as it was just a chatterin' my bits chewin' on it.
Found both to have good bird in 'em using padauk strikers.
Made this next one for a very good friend's aunt. Centerpiece is an antique brooch with floral butterfly's with opening for sound to release all throughout it. Paired up nicely with a purpleheart peg and some purple and yellow laminate.
Thanks fer lookin'.
