We all can name our favorite wood for calls in the blink of an eye. But, what is the wood that you absolutely hate to use.
For me, it's oak. The only good use for the stuff is for in a fireplace or sent to Kingsford to be burnt up and put in a blue and white bag. It's dusty, splintery and you spend twice the normal finishing time just trying to get the grain filled. And after all that effort, it still isn't pretty wood.
I have an order that I have been putting off doing for a week, just because it's an oak grunt call. I tried to talk the guy out of it. I offered him every wood that I had, but he was dead set on oak.
OK, that's the end of my rant. Anyone else?
