Bunch of butternut boxes... (Sound file added)
« on: October 27, 2013, 04:48:32 PM »
Just a couple recent boxes that I got done....thanks for looking

Maple over butternut with ebony inlays and another padauk over butternut. The maple one is staying with me and the padauk is going to its new home also in Pennsylvania.



This one is going to a guy in New York. Cherry over butternut parquet with maple endblocks and walnut inlays. The cherry and maple are off of his farm and he told me to get creative with some wood from PA so this is what he ended up with. Really like how this one turned out...one of those calls you don't want to let go of.



Finally, this one is maple over wormy butternut with ebony inlays and "old hen" checkering on the lid. Didn't do any checkering on te box itself to let that "wormyness" (I think that's a word lol) give it it's looks. This call has some nice rasp in it...it's going to the classifieds.

 


Finally got around to doing some sound files. Here's one for the parquet box shown above. Opinions welcomed.

Thanks guys. I did up a few soundfiles today of a few calls. Did some yesterday inside and they didn't sound all that great so I did some outside today. One of which was the cherry over butternut parquet box that I have posted here. I put the link to it on the bottom of the original post. Hope you like it.
