…just think…I have to say goodbye to ALL of these fine little friends!
Sniff..sniff..
Drool… I can’t wait till mine gets here!

Hey, at least they’re finding good homes (one of them is coming to me!). Don’t be lonesome, just make more!
Hey, those are some real beauties… and the price is unbelievably low!
Somebody please tell me though - have I slept through the announcement of this new brand of wooden whistles? 
What what what?! You have to GET RID OF THEM?!
What ever for??
They’re beautiful by the way.
Evidently. Davey posted their availability 2-3 weeks ago. Click on his www icon for more info. I’ve had the one on the bottom of the picture for a week or so. It’s mighty fine, a nice, creamy, mellow sound. I’m having a little trouble adjusting to the breath requirements: It needs little pressure in the lower octave and higher pressure in the upper octave. I’m working on a full review that I’ll post in another week or two when I’ve become fully acquainted with it.
Charlie,
I may be sending you a new fipple in a week or so as well, as I’ve updated my fipple design. p.s…remember to tune the whistle to the 1st octave G and it’s second octave G…
And the boxwood whistle pictured above, is a different one than the one you are currently playing…
David
Awesome.
Davey,
Does the boxwood darken much naturally ??
How does it look when oiled?
It REALLY depends on the boxwood and how it was handled. I had some boxwood that was really “creamy” looking with these dark lines through it. This boxwood is quite pale blonde. The boxwood that I have leftover right now has an INCREDIBLE figuring in it that I’ve always appreciated in boxwood…sort of 3d. Boxwood DOES brown as it ages…but the extent depends on how it is finished, how it was “stained” etc. I recently restored a flute that was literally poop brown and completely un-recognizeable as boxwood…heck..it was unrecognizeable as WOOD! It’s turned out to be a gorgeous flute! Boxwood is tricky stuff…but it’s my favorite…it’s also VERY expensive and it’s really tough to find really good boxwood.

Brown boxwood is ‘fumed’ by placing the wood above a trough of acid. It’s the chemical reaction that changes the color. As far as the figuring goes, I hear boxwood grows in long skinny branches unlike many large large trunked trees so the grain swirling is more apparent.
