Title: Strikers from Steve Torman(West Augusta)
Post by: harmonden on February 21, 2010, 01:34:02 PM

I'm not a call collector and don't often trade calls........but Steve's hand made strikers have always stirred my interest........always something to be said about truly great handmade quality work..........

got these Saturday...............all of them play great on my calls,and am very impressed with the workmanship involved..............i recommend these strikers to call collectors or anyone looking for a great handmade striker...............

Awesome strikers!!!!  I've seen how he makes them which is even more amazing!!!  I don't think you need all three though.

Man I'm glad you posted those up.  I almost forgot who made those.  I loved reading how he built them!

Great additions and if you need a good home for the dogwood one... well I'd give it a try out  ;)
