Title: "FADE TO BLACK" scratch box X3
Post by: longbeard48 on December 18, 2012, 08:50:02 PM
A customer brought me a unique piece of rainbow poplar with black streaks in it and wanted three calls made from it.  I really wasn't too excited about the project to begin with, but I was pleased with the way it turned out!  Each call begins with a blonde color at the back and goes through several shades before fading to solid black at the lip of the soundboard.  They each use a walnut (what else?) striker for a real good sound.  Nothing like walnut on poplar for a top notch turkey box!
