whew Sparky, thats a great looking call there. The limba has some real nice color to it also!!! Bet someone is a happy guy that got that one. Kinda glad to see it go there friend !!! It needs to be in the hands of a friend...instead of a judge ;D
Great looking work friend !! *up*

Whew wee indeed that is one of the purdiest calls I have seen in a while...even if it did roll out of the Bobblehead shop ROTFLMBO. That must be some supplier you got there and the dude really knows his wood. Thank all for the Coney Island Boardwalk for that fine Ipe, pronounced (E pay) for all you southerners who just can get it rite! No that badboy has gotta be headed for the Nat's!!
-
Thats one sweet lookin call....I like it!
-
I love that Black Limba when it has the darker tones in it! Great looking call! *up* *up* *up*

If that is the call I heard from you yesterday Tim, That is a great call and someone will be very happy with it!
Nice to see you posting again!
-
E-pay, huh? Glad SOMEBODY knows the correct pronounciation!
"Pronounciation..." bet ya'll didn't know Mississippi State boys like me 'n' St. John could spell words that long! We don't use that word too often down here in the Mississippi Swamps.

Well Tom I will be the first to issue credit where credit is due and it seems that you have dun-good, but there are some odd fellows who happen to live near a certain Twisting Creek *lol* that just can't seem to get past (I-pee) instead of E-pay!, but then again he just may be having a lil fun *peep* *bannana*with this ole yankee.
I will say though, looking at the stack of Ipe lids in my shop and having used this stuff several times it is truly special and it has got to be a dead-on match for Limba. Huh, that reminds me, if that is the case, Ole Bullock couldn't have thought that up for himself...he must have had some special assistance *lol*
-
GREAT looking call Tim. *up* That E-PAY is some mighty fine looking wood...........
-
That Twisting Creek car salesman did not go to Mississippi State.
Here is a question for those who use E-pay: About where would it fall on the hardness scale?
The reason I ask is that I have entertained the thought of building an Ipe scratch box, but don't want to buy any if it is too hard.
-
Nice call I agree with Bill I like the dark tones in the Limba also.

Sharp caller !!! *up*

*up* *up*

That is a beautiful caller.
-
Beautiful combination. And excellent work on the checkering, ipe tends to be a booger some times
-
Nice work
-
Tom, The Ipe rests comfortably at about 3600 on the Janka Scale. There are only 4 wood harder! I cut a lot of it from the large timbers taken from the Coney Island Boardwalk and trust me my sharpening bill goes way up when I cut a bunch of it, but it is simply georgous wood and worth the effort.
-
She's a sweetheart! *up*
-
Thanks for the info, Fargobox! I just finished reading about Ipe and I think I will steer clear of it. I've never had any luck with scratch boxes made entirely of the harder woods! Might make a great striker, though!

Tim don't let these guy's get ya'..... You have a calendar use it!! *peep* Great looking caller Man!!
