Got to spend some time with Chad today and got my Tusky River Widowmaker Striker.
He made it just like i wanted it,kinda plain looking and not shiney.
It came out nice as it was to go with my grandpa's old Ben Lee Super Hen trough slate call i got after he passed away.
The thing makes awesome purrs and clucks just as i thought it would.
I might have to bring this call out of retirement.
Havn't used it for over 20 years,just for display.
Thanks Chad! 0611171403.jpg0611171403a-1-1.jpg

Rick gave me quite a few apple, cherry, and cedar logs when we met up today. They are perfect size for turning strikers and some I will save for when I start doing pots. Anywho, I couldn't help myself and just got an apple striker sanded down to 400 with a coat of wood conditioner. The grains on this one are very purdy! Thanks brother!

A buddy at work mentioned that he had a several cans of different colored stains that he had from when he did gun stocks and doesn't do them anymore. Being that he has no access to firewood I told him I'd trade him some pine for it, since I have a shit load of it. One of the stains is cherry, and I just so happen to have some cherry wood😎
