Title: Like kicking a hornets nest
Post by: savduck on March 18, 2013, 05:24:16 PM: And getting a swarm of pain. A whole lot of turkey killing pain. I had Billy build me three of these and then one of my two trumpet mentors had one special made for me as a gift. I got all four Friday night and man did Billy send me some beauties. There is going to be a bunch of turkey death with these instruments over the years.

From left to right.
1. Vasticola burl.....wood I sent Billy. He made 3 calls from this set. It is the first time he has ever turned trumpets out of this wood. He made 5 other trumpets at the same time and numbered them 1 through 8 as a limited edition run of calls.
2. Old growth Brazilian rosewood. This was from Billys select personal stock.....as you can see very few have been made out of this rosewood. There is a little knick battle scar on it already. It fell over and hit the ground. Oh well. It is gonna be my everyday hunting call and get a little use. notice it has a slightly different shaped body than the others.
3. Scrap pile caller. has rosewood cap, vasticola center, and amboyna burl bell. Also numbered during the limited edition 8 call release
4. Curly Koa. My buddy Nitro off of here had Billy make a 6 call set, unbeknownest to several of his friends. he gifted these to all of us this Friday at turkey camp in SC.

All of these calls are outstanding in sound quality. All of Billys sound great but you can sometimes find one with something special. All of these have that special something.

Post by: nitro on March 18, 2013, 08:18:05 PM: Glad I could do it. Del is a deserving friend. I tell you what, when I left Billy's with a box full of Del's calls, I darn near disappeared... Quite a fine assortment of calls he ordered..

Here is a photo of the KKK - "Kona Koa Killers".... I hand picked the wood in December at the source in Kona. Billy turned a board into some gorgeous calls..

You ought to see what I have planned next.........Involves some old growth Lignum and Hondurian rosewood burl. Got to save up some pennies first though.

Post by: savduck on March 19, 2013, 10:17:18 PM: You bet Bill. Yes it turned out beautiful. Sounds awesome too. Little deeper sound. Like mine with a #4.
Title: Re: Like kicking a hornets nest
Post by: GR8CALLS on March 19, 2013, 10:22:06 PM: Yep, Billy added a Snake Wood mouth piece which really looks good w/ the burl.

Thanks!
