Awesome job man great looking calls... But will they call the long beards in?

 

[discounthunter]

i've heard many responses , but no complaints, just some flopping.:greenchainsaw:

 

[harrybeaver]

Beautiful, that is red cedar right?

 

[MAKEITOUTOFWOOD]

Very cool. Great work and craftsmanship.

 

[southsoundtree]

Is that juniper?

Eastern Cedar? Is EC really a Juniper?

can you maintain that heartwood color, or does it fade?

 

[discounthunter]

SST its eastern red cedar aka aromatic red cedar or just aromatic cedar. and yes the pink color fades as soon as exposed to air and sunlight(sunlight being worse.it basically oxidizes. keeping it out of sunlight it take alot longer for it to fade( the inside of jewlry boxes and cedar chests have stayed close to the original pink for close to a year.Dave
