Title: Lyman's Wormy Butternut Shortbox
Post by: letinmfly on February 11, 2010, 10:58:22 AM

When I saw the shortbox that Bill made from this Butternut last summer I had to have one.  The pictures don't show all of the worm holes but it is infested.
The lid and base are made of out of some of the prettiest Cherry I've ever seen.
As typical of Bill's calls it's all turkey.  I know there's at least a couple of other guys getting a shortbox from Bill made from the same wormy Butternut, so here's a preview for you guys.  Thanks for another great sounding call Bill.  *cheers*

Lou I'm glad to see you received the call. I wasn't sure with all that snow if they would know how to deliver mail down your way. ROTFLMBO  Hope you kill some birds with it and I think Dave's right you could hunt in the rain and it wouldn't hold water.  Bill

Bill.

The call looks and sounds great my friend.  RkLu

Believe it or not it came yesterday in that blizzard.  Glad it made it in one piece.
You were right that Cherry is spectacular.  Looking forward to killing a bird with it this spring.  Thanks...

Thanks to everyone for the comments.  *cheers*
