    Thanks Mike! I do have their free hand cutters and a few small jewelers engravers. I may need to get the tool to try. I find with most hand inlay cutting tools, it’s challenging to get consistent...

    Thanks Mark! The result is certainly nice. I don’t have any experience with Waterlox. I’m an Arm R Seal guy when looking for a more durable finish. Need to give Waterlox a try.

    Turkey box calls

    A good friend of mine is an avid Turkey hunter. He mentioned once that he wanted to make his own box call, but just didn’t have the tools, etc. to do it. I offered to give it a try. Turns out...

    Makes sense Jim. Lost track of how many xacto and scalpel blades were used. I’m left handed, so a veneer saw is awkward for me. And yes, my templates are only 1/8th” plexi, so a definite need to...
