I feel like a mall Hallmark store, talking about Christmas before Halloween, but if anyone has considered giving one of my whistles as a Christmas or Hannukah gift, now would be an excellent time to let me know. I like to allow about 2 months to make a wooden whistle from scratch-- there’s a month long “resting” period after I drill the bore of the whistle. Also, if you want some wood that I don’t have in stock, I might have to search it out for you.
No need for payment up front unless you order something really odd that I might not be able to sell if you change your mind.
Some of the whistles from my September offering are still available.

To that list, I’ve added one unfinished Cocobolo tube long enough to be finished up into a C or D+ whistle on fairly short notice.
Please excuse a little whistlemaker’s gloat-- I sent off a C whistle to Tony Hinnigan. His comments, posted with his permission, are on the testimonials page of my website:

Thanks for your time.
