Title: Using up...
Post by: callmakerman on October 18, 2012, 11:27:57 AM

some scraps. Like most callmakers I save all kinds of cutoffs and what not thinking I'll use them on something. I was in the shop one night when I thought that the thin pieces of snakewood that were sitting in my drawer need to be used for something. I looked around and found some thin pieces of curley maple,chestnut,wenge and mineral poplar laying around so I started gluing up a few striker blanks. I know that there's nothing special here but I do like the look when their done and they sound real nice on the calls I've run them on.

Thanx for the kind words. No more burn pile wood as I can use alot of this wood for anything from chalk boxes and turned plugs to strikers and striker tops.
