Anyone happen to have some Harold Fowler Strikers they wanna sell

[REN]

I love is strikers (may he RIP) and just have never found another I like better. Anyone on here happen to have any they are not using or wanna sell?

I don't have any, but any decent wood turner should be able to copy one for you.

You say this… but I have a striker I have often tried to copy to no avail. I contend it has something to do with the cut and grain of the wood used, and what finish they used.

I would love to figure out how to make a striker that was as consistent as the two pieces I currently use.

The actual piece of wood does have an effect on calls. Grain direction and density due to growth can make a difference. I make box calls and pot calls. Some may look identical, but sound different. Neil Cost believed air dried wood was better for calls than kiln dried.
