Hybrid Resin Burl Call Blank 1-7/16

Discover the distinctive character of the BC-0002 hybrid resin burl call blank from Stadium Pen Blanks. This 1-7/16 inch by 6 inch piece merges natural burl wood with vibrant resin to create a stable, visually striking material ideal for call makers and handle turners seeking both beauty and performance. Makers appreciate how the hybrid approach delivers consistent results while preserving the organic appeal that makes each turned piece unique.

Materials & Blank Sizes

The BC-0002 features rich brown and tan wood grain accented by purple and gold resin, setting it apart from siblings like BC-0003 through BC-0013 that use different color palettes. Each blank measures exactly 1-7/16 inches in diameter by 6 inches long, providing ample stock for standard game call bodies or compact tool handles. The hybrid construction stabilizes the burl while preserving organic patterns, delivering durable stock that resists cracking on the lathe. Stadium Pen Blanks sources these materials with turning performance in mind, offering consistent quality across the serial_BC family.

Casting & Turning Story

Our casting process embeds carefully selected burl sections in clear, high-clarity resin under controlled pressure to eliminate voids. On the lathe the BC-0002 cuts cleanly with carbide tools and responds well to progressive sanding from 120 grit through micro-mesh. The stabilized matrix accepts cyanoacrylate finishes and friction polishes without clouding, yielding a glass-smooth surface that highlights the purple and gold accents. Turning experts note the blank's consistent density reduces tear-out compared with unstabilized burl, making it forgiving for both novice and professional call makers.

• Secure the blank between centers or in a chuck with light pressure to avoid crushing the resin edges.

• Rough turn to shape using sharp carbide inserts at moderate speeds.

• Progress through grits from 120 to 400, then finish with micro-mesh for clarity.

• Apply thin CA or friction polish in light coats, allowing each layer to cure fully.

• Buff with Magic Juice Polishing Compound for a high-gloss result.
