Turkish Trumpet
« on: January 25, 2014, 01:37:04 PM »
Finished this one a couple of months ago......in Trade for a trailer load of Black Locust lumber....

Turkish Walnut with a some curl and nice color....Gunstock oil finish and buffalo stem....very nice wood to turn and sounds very nice too...

I have a few more pieces and a nice piece of Bastogne walnut to try for tube calls and trumpets

Matt, that's an exceptional stick of turkish walnut, was that a crotch, or burl piece?  Just a great job on this one.
