Oh my.. well many of you do not know how this call came about.  McKamey told me Bullock needed a challenge...  or he needs to be brought down (I might have made that up  *peep*)...  I'm thinking, I've given all of the callmakers I order from a great challenge but one... Tim B...  I've really taken a liking to Bloodwood and of course Osage is a no brainer...

I decided I wanted an Osage box with a bloodwood lid..  So McKamey goes, I have some bloodwood and you need to ask Bullock to build that combo for you (I think he really said that so I wouldn't ask him).

So I did.. Tim said sure no problem.  Fast forward several weeks.  I get this phone call from knee pad wearing Jeff just laughing.  He said, dude you really need to mess with Tim today.  So I start sending Tim texts saying, do you need to send that call to McKamey to get it tuned?  He said you are not man enough...

I get a phone call right away.  I'm thinking... I hope he has a good sense of humor.  Unknown to me, Jeff knew how much trouble he was having.  I was told right away, 1 of 1...  Never ever ever again.

I've seen several discussions on what people want out of a call...  I can assure you, only a minority would like the sound I carry.  Tim assured me I could call a bird a county away with this caller...  You should have heard the echoing of the call on the phone.  I was laughing so hard...  

So now I can either blind them to death, hit them upside the head with the call, deafen them (or myself), or keep it as a collectible since this appears to be the one of one only combo from him.   I think we all need to just place an order for an osage box/with bloodwood lid...  I bet if that's all the orders he's getting... he'll build them... hey it's supply and demand  ROTFLMBO

Tim thanks for building this.  Tim C and Jeff both agreed that you are probably minus a lot more hair today  *up*

Great job on the call.  I don't even want to think about tuning that thing.
