This is a very old piece of American Chestnut...best I can tell is the fact that I could clearly counted 167 growth rings in the chunk I got from a beam in an old barn (built in 1852) so that makes the wood according to my math, no less than 327 years old. I matched it up with a Walnut lid and base and tossed in some Padauk spacers and Wanut end blocks. Chestnut is EXTREMELY diffucult to burn due to the very hard growth rings and the soft wood between. I hate *cry* to burn Chestnut, but love ;) the sound. This call is headed to S Carolina to a guy who lived in NY for 42 years. Took a walk in the woods this am and captured the pics along the rocky creek bank. I attempted to attach a link to a youtube video of the call--I promise no white chicken legs. ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO Thanks for looking.

I was disappointed in the volume on my videos as well. I wonder if that should tell us something about how loud we think we are calling? I did not notice a difference in playing the original videos on my laptop and replaying them on youtube after uploading. If you find a better way, I would sure like to know. A much better camera for filming hunts and a high quality remote microphone are on my want list...lol

Awesome caller there buddy!

Funny you mention this...I was thinking the exact thing when I listened to your list of call sounds...kinda wondered what was going on. could be we were too far from the camera, but I am not convinced of that since it sounded much louder and clearer when I played before I uploaded to youtube.
