Title: Here Bill
Post by: Blackfalcon on July 06, 2013, 01:14:59 PM

I got up at 4 am earlier this week to work on calls.. by 8 am I had done a lot of damage...I complained to Bill Lyman and he told me to work on a different kind of call.  Well..I think I picked the wrong one to work on because it was even more frustrating  *lol*

I finally worked through it and got it done even though the shop temp read "HHH" all week which I interpreted as "Hotter than the Hinges of heck" ...now I'm off to drink a pitcher of something cold...ice coffee i think...

Osage from Doc Youngblood , African Blackwood and African Padauk tenon fitted into the bell and mouthpiece, Elk antler band... 40 cal. and Ivory keeper on the lanyard....a learning experience which I don't especially wish to repeat any time soon... ROTFLMBO Thanks again for the suggestion Bill  ;D

Glad i could help Dave though after talking to you on the phone I think I did more harm than good. *wha* *lol* Like I said when it gets tough work on something fun. Awesome job on the grunt tube. I'm sure the new owner will be pleased. *cheers*

Thanks guys! It's all good Bill, actually it was a good suggestion as I was eyeballing your piece of Ivory as my next victim at the time.... ROTFLMBO  If you can't have a little fun it's not worth doing!  *cheers*

One of the better and more creative grunt calls I have seen, really like the use of the antler incorporated and I know that wasn't easy to do. *bowing*
