Title: Couple of Strikers
Post by: longbeardfever4ever on December 03, 2011, 06:58:12 PM

As I make calls and let them dry I make strikers.. The three in the first pic are (l-r) cherry, black locust, and padauk. The one below is curly claro walnut. The Claro Walnut is for Grand Nationals, decorative striker division. I may make a stand for it in shop class at school to spice it up a bit.  I wish I could capture the curl in the walnut better; for the depth and clarity of the curl is simply amazing.

Mike,

Those are a little more sleek than the original set I got from you. Great work.

Thanks, Ricky!

  I slimmed down the tops and made the striker itself longer. They are easier to run. I have a new design I'm working on that's even easier to run.

 God Bless  :)
