Title: Custom Elk Calls - Maple Burl
Post by: JPhelps on June 02, 2012, 08:52:30 AM

I have turned 5 more out of gramps' piece of Maple Burl.  This piece was cut thick enough that I turned it parallel with the eyes making for cool vertical figure.  I also put a little brown dye into the wood making the figure pop a little better.  The calls are finished wuth a deep polyurethane crystal clear finish.

$26 shipped.

Those turned out beautiful.  I've been looking at your composites recently.  Do you have any green/black or green/charcoal right now?

Alcon,

JPhelps makes a great elk call. Beautiful, small, and easy to use. A welcome addition to my mouth reed call.  :tup:

I have I think the first call out of this burl...  It is amazing to look at, and sounds even better!  A true piece of art!

The middle call is gone.

John, thanks.  I just got done making a wolf howler barrel out of this burl and it looks awesome. :tup:

All of these are gone.  Thank You for looking.  I will be turning up some more of these soon.  I like how they look and turn out.  Besides Gramps' would be proud that his maple burl is being turned into elk calls.
