First Friction call
« on: June 17, 2011, 11:55:33 AM »
This is my First friction call. It is made from Sepele, Maple Sound Board, Obsidian Inlay, Acrylic Striking Surface, Sounds Terrible.

Did a Lil Wood Burning to the soundboard, and to the back of the call.

Call is 10 1/2" Tall x 1 3/4"thick, 1/4" walls and the soundboard is only 1/2" thick, the Acrylic striking surface is 3/32 like most use, clean glue line, cant even tell it is there in the pic.

 I have tried every striker I have, still sounds terrible, Back to the drawing board, mebe, Slate is the answer.

That's nice Erb.  I like the wood burning.  That is a clean glue line!
