Mike, you are going to make my head swell, but I guess the wood will keep me humble. As you know, I ruined some calls yesterday,was successful with two of them, and then I worked on a trumpet from 6pm-11pm. I finished it, parted it off and turned it around to work on the inside of the bell end,and then split it. That I was disappointed would be an understatement, it was a gorgeous call,Texas ebony with amazing figuring and I was only about five minutes from the finish line. Like Al says, making some firewood!!!
Thanks guys!
