This has been kind of a slow project that has taken me a while. Several new and different things in it. I have probably got way too many hours in it, lol.
The body is from a 75 year old Bois de Arc fencepost. The solid dark chocolate color is not very common, normally the Bois de Arc is yellow or a yellow/brown mix. This piece of Bois de Arc also has a very cool golden iridescence in it when you get it out in the sun. The golden cap is highly figured spalted pecan, dyed Aztec Gold and stabilized.
The tone board is Delrin, and is only my second one totally from scratch, 100% mine. And I am pretty dang proud of it. To me it sounds really good. It will do a good range of raspy medium volume cottontail/jackrabbit distress, a great pup distress/kiyi, and nice pup/young female howls. To me and the way I call it is a smooth board, plays easy and does not have a break in it. All around just a nice versatile board.
And to prove it works I took it out the other night when I was doing pig crop protection work and played with it a bit. Called up a pair of coyotes and killed one. I called them up to my truck sitting out in the middle of a peanut field. So it already has its first kill under its belt.
$55 will put it to your door here in the US.
EDITED TO ADD: A photo of the call in my hand. The first closeup pic makes it look like a large call, but it is not. It is fairly compact for an open reed, and it has a 1/2" tone board.
