... I've never seen Teak used on a Short Box - have seen it used on Turpins & Gibsons - how does the combo sound Al ??

Sure is a sharp lookin' caller - very nice Al & Josh, & congrats Richard - that brickcheck is sweet ... 8) 8)

That's a beauty Al!!  I thought you were done with bloodwood, or was this one done before?

 Jim, this is the first teak shortbox I've built. It sounds real good, I was surprised to  be honest. Just something I wanted to try. I'm gonna try some different woods for paddles also.

 Dave, thanks for the concern friend. I thought I was done with bloodwood too.. LOL, and probably will stop using it. It does cause some discomfort in my throat and makes it a little hard to swallow.. So guess it's not worth it to push the issue.. Got one to finish today, and I'll decide for sure what I'll do. Josh had sort of the same problem the first time we used it. Sure don't want to put him at risk!!  
 Thanks for the comment's guys!

Great looking call Al.   Take Dave's advice with the wood bud.   Josh has probably my one and only call from zebrawood.   If I build another I'm gonna have to purchase a Hazmat suit.

 Thanks bud, I agree. It's not worth the risk. Josh said he's glad you at least did one from zebrawood!!  ;D
