Wow, Dave, nice slates!  I could send you some beeswax that you can treat them with, nice polish and a wonderful smell!  You could market them as Dave's Patented Honey Pots!

Thanks fellas! I do sell a few from time to time. Mostly in the spring.

JW, I do have some beeswax, haven't got around to using any of it yet. I wonder about using it as a finish. Maybe a crazy question here, but what about people who are bee allergic? Just curious.

Trapper Rob, the woods in the pic are red cedar, ambrosia, and curly maple, and one I don't remember. But I'll use just about any wood I can get for calls.

Nice turkey calls! I see a lot of great stuff here guys. Im getting greedy!
Honestly, bow season started and that was it! I have neglected just about everything in the pursuit of freezer meat. Got a little done here and there for the trade, I will do a better update after a few days when Im taking a break from the blinds and stands

The bee allergy involves the venom, wax is secreted in a bunch of modified sweat glands on other parts of the bee. I have never heard of anyone having an allergic reaction to beeswax.

Here is a little taste. Some steel I got at work, not sure what it is exactly but it has not rusted in my "scrap" pile while everything else has so maybe a type of stainless. these two blades will have a 3rd to make a simple butchering set as part of my trade offering.

Well, I decided to make my victim an all wood deer call. Here's the first one I've made that has snakeskin on it. Michigan milk snake that is. The wood is some really old osage and white oak. Hope he like it. I still need to pull scales off and seal the skins, but almost done.
