ShadeTree Scratchbox from Winterbottom Tree
« on: January 17, 2013, 03:27:35 PM »
Here is a caller I just completed for a forum member who requested cedar from the last tree that Walt Winterbottom cut down to make a turkey call. The grain is as tight as cedar gets in this wood . The growth rings are too close to even count but this piece probably represents close to 100 years of growth . Thanks for looking !

That is beautiful.  Just the right amount of art to also let the wood shine.
