An Incredible wood
« on: January 24, 2012, 11:45:50 AM »
I was fortunate to have acquired a large amount of Pernambuco.  This wood is now beyond rare,....there is a Mexican substitute,..but it is nowhere near the quality of the original Brazilian.  It creates very true, authentic turkey sounds, and when finished,....is one of the prettiest woods you will ever see.     Google pernambuco lumber and call around to your suppliers and see how truly rare it is.  It's main function was violin bows,............

Pernambuco makes a great box call. Let us see the results when you are finished.

The mexican substitute you referred to, would that be chakte viga?

Pat,
This stuff works alright, Lapp & I made a set for a gentleman 2-3 years ago using pernambuco.  I made the paddle call, thought it was pretty good.....price was a little salty for me being that it is getting tougher to get. (but I do know a good source to get it ;))  I also believe that Lapp entered a call using that either last year or the year before.  Good luck with it.
