They like the two I’ve made so far! So did the guy that bought one of em! The other one resides in my hunting bag. It has sweettalked about 6 or 7 in so far.

Ken, I found a board of 5/4 chestnut that's almost clear and 28 inches long by 10.5 wide. The photos below show the front and back and the end so you can see the grain direction. Would any of this work for your turkeys. I could add worm holes for an extra fee. :haggle:
 
Wow! That left side is perfect!
So, the board is 10.5” wide and 28” long. What would this piece of treasure run me delivered to 39042? (I’ll provide my own worms. I’ve got them well trained. But thanks for the offer.)

Ken, I'll be glad to cut off the parts you can use and send them rather than the whole board. I make lots of items for Etsy customers and will use the rest of the board myself. Can you give me a cut list? I have other boards of chestnut that might work even better if I know the sizes you need. On some of them, worm holes will be free.

Actually, I think I can use the whole board this time. See the end block under the paddle? Those are chestnut, too. Grain doesn’t matter with them. I can also make the bases out of the wood that I can’t use for the paddles. It’s only in the paddles and sides that grain is critical.

But to answer your question, the paddles and bases wind up being 1 3/4” wide. So, anything 1 3/4” - 2” with quartersawn grain 90° up to about 50°-60° is perfect. I just can’t use flat sawn wood in the paddles.

Also, I don’t think I answered a previous question. Yes, I would like the 8/4” -12/4” Walnut crotchwood for bowls. I said 10” - 12”, which is really what I want, but I’d consider really good figure down to about 7”.

Ken, I requested a ruling from the moderator this morning since our discussion of chestnut and turkey calls is off the subject of the original posting on walnut crotches. He suggested that I start a new thread and say that you had requested information and that the pieces shown are for you to consider. So I will do that now in the Wood For Sale forum. I will also use that thread to offer other pieces of chestnut available.
