Here is the closing call (the grooms) from the set. This classic all the way, Cherry lid over Butternut body. Lid has alternating Curly maple and Butternut inlays and the box body has complimentary bubinga linays and spacers with cherry end blocks. The base is of course cheerry with butternut between. This is some fine Wisconsin Butternut and the cherry is over 125 years old from some post columns on an old farm across the road where I hunt.
This call took almost no tuning...the woods just seemed to match up so well. The sound is again classic all the way, a bit sweeter that the harder woods. She runs real easy on a long stroke, breaks clear and finishes with that familiar crunchy rasp-- another caller that should be at my side for Nashville, but will live out its life killing old gobblers in central NY.
Some of may be asking why I didn't do my usual wood burning on these calls...well I felt that since I decided to make them a parquet set that the wood burning would be too busy and take away from the design and overall look. So to make the grooms call standout, this one got my signature tail feather.
Thanks everyone for putting up with all my posts and for looking
