It's a piece of Circassian Walnut with an Ivory enlay...that I hope ends up a turkey call.

Great piece of wood, nice inlay. Should make a beautiful box call. Just love box calls and admire ones like yours. Doubt if I could make one on a bet, but I sure use them in the spring. Again great work.

Almost another thread- what do you make out of walnut and finish with oil?
I use broken gunstocks to make knife handles and then finish them with oil. Some of them look OK but I'm still in the 'not-very-good-yet' stage compared with some of teh work proper craftsmen turn out - still it gives me an excuse to leave wood shavings all over the floor to annoy my pet Italian.

The main faces of the AyA stock look true in raking light. Speaking of recipes, I mixed up a nice bag batch of BP lube from beeswax, parafine and neatsfoot oil over the weekend. Very pleasant smelling if a little "lardy". Got just about everything I need when that Old Army arrives. Joe, I will get that stock on here soon. No biggie as it's incredibly strait-grained and a bit of sapwood at the toe.

Solopian...Circassian is a very dense walnut unlike any walnut I've fooled with. I stained it and it barely took. It's very tough to finish but it'll get there...I hope.
Rabbit...I was beginning to worry about you I feared yOu had OD'd on Slackum.

Si, tambien la culata tiene "Velcro" para mantenerlo en loco. Hammers? ?Quien sabe? Maybe the lock tie rod looks like one of those vestigial hammers on the Brits?

Not the flashiest wood but looks better to my eye than when I got it. Not exactly firewood, either. I thought the hammer was the on switch, still have some learning to do.
