I made a striker to go with my Knight & Hale Ol' Yeller Sla-Tek

I had to scan it cause I don't have a digital camera.

I didn't glue it together so I could slide it up and down to,
Change the tone.
To make it longer or shorter.
All three pics are the same striker.

It sounds great.

Here it is.

Its not perfect But it works lol










Let me know what you think of it, OK

Thank You

Looks nice JR!! But I have no clue why there are two parts to it? Could you explain that please. Thanks.

Jr, every year when I go to NC I bring back DOG WOOD limbs
to make strikers.They make real good strikers.
What did you make yours out of? They look great!

So you can slide the small part in and out to make it
longer or shorter.

It will change the tone.

I also have the tip different so I can just turn the small part over to the other end.

It has two different shapes on each end.

Looks good, I am also curious about the type of wood you used.

I've been into making my own strikers for a while now. Try one with a dried up corn cob.

Just bore a 3/8" hole down through the center and glue in a 3/8" dowel. Make sure you stain and varnish the dowel first, it looks good against the corncob.

It means a little more when you made the call that you get him with.

looks good. as long as it works for you,thats all that counts.

Im not sure of what wood it is.

It was a dowel off a tore up flag .

And the top was a peace of a 1 in dowel.

I think its poplar wood but not sure.

Amen. Gotta love taking a bird with items you personally crafted. A corn corb works very well too atop a striker.
