Title: Cougar Package with a nicer call...
Post by: rainshadow1 on March 14, 2010, 04:37:29 PM: Had a customer from AZ who didn't want a plain jane Mountain Lion whistle to go along with his CD...

I had this nice piece of Morrell. I wondered what I'd band it with. Then I had a wild hair...

"How about I band it with.... ITSELF!"

(Sold.)

Post by: rainshadow1 on March 14, 2010, 05:02:28 PM: Lots of start/stop/start/stop when you're dealing with boring, turning, honing, sanding, aclimating, resanding, vacuum chambering, resanding, oiling, resanding, buffing, & finishing, etc.

But all tallied, probably about 3 hours with my hands on the call... over about 3 days.

The lathe work, including the banding was probably 40 - 50 minutes.
