Killed some bird’s with it and then my wife’s dog chewed the cedar soundboard in it I found a pristine box turtle shell and would like to make one. Problem I have no way of making a small sized cedar soundboard. Anyone know of a source or how ? “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan

I'm going to clean it up and paint it. I think you can just order slate for calls off Amazon fairly cheap right? Might make me a little turtle call...lol
