Laminate for inlays...
« on: June 26, 2011, 08:26:26 AM »
When you make scratch boxes and ONLY scratch boxes, you have to stay creative.  I've been experimenting with inlays of laminated wood.  This call is Sassafras, which, though it makes a fine sounding call, practically cries out for something to "dress it up."
This laminate is called Aquafire, I believe.  I wouldn't want a gunstock made from it, but it spices up the Sassafras, that's for sure!

Here's another Sassafras with a Camo stripe.  I used to have a 1300 Winchester with this same laminated pattern, but it couldn't hit the side of a barn...


Ya'll let me know what you think about these, before I go to the trouble of making more!
