Pine for calls

[jwiggin]

We are in the process of remodeling our house that is over 200 yrs old, in the process of remodeling we have had to take out some older materials. This house is loaded with pine boards that are 2" thick with some being as wide as 16" and 10' long without a knot I don't see allot on it but is pine an OK material for call making?

I've made a few calls with Southern Yellow Pine - tricky to get a good sound from it, though.

The Old antique pine may work - you'll have to experiment with it. My gut feel is that it will sound flat, but hey - give it a try and let us know how it turns out.
