I would like these three 4x4 pot call blanks cast but I'm not sure about colors or who would do the best job. I like the ones I've seen @Final Strut make. I have quite a few different woods to trade now or if it is preferred, I could pay cash for the service. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The woods are curly koa and ROB. 20151205_134811-1.webp 20151205_134824-1.webp 20151205_134849-1.webp
 
Hey Norm, here is something I do:

And I would gladly do that for you.
But you have different wood here. I'm still working with ROB from you to get best results, and ROB is tricky in taking colors in stabilizing. And I have never casted/stabilized koa.
In a month or 2 I would be confident what I can do with ROB in terms of casting and stabilizing, But it seems like you are in a hurry.

No hurry really. I'm just anxious to see how they end up. Haha. I'm never in a rush to get stuff done because I don't have customers waiting on anything. I really like the colors on that second group.
 
Norm, I'm having couple of your pieces(I mean ROB that I got from you) going through stabilization right now which will incorporate the same set of coloring. Than I'll cast them... will see what happens.

I'd definitely like to see how well it takes colors. I've seen it take red pretty well.
