Discover the striking visual depth of the BC-0013 hybrid resin burl call blank, featuring rich deep purple resin alongside warm tan and brown wood tones. This 1-7/16" x 6" piece combines natural burl elements with clear resin for reliable performance on the lathe. Makers choose this blank for its stable hybrid construction that delivers consistent results whether you are shaping game calls or small handles. The deep purple resin creates dramatic contrast against the organic burl grain, giving each finished piece a one-of-a-kind appearance that stands apart from standard acrylic options.

Materials & Blank Sizes

Each BC-0013 blank measures exactly 1-7/16 inches in diameter by 6 inches long, providing ample stock for standard call bodies and small tool handles. The hybrid construction stabilizes the burl while preserving organic grain patterns, resulting in durable, turnable stock that resists cracking during machining.

Casting & Turning Story

The BC-0013 blank reads beautifully on the lathe thanks to its resin stabilization process that locks in the burl's natural character. The stabilization begins with careful vacuum impregnation of the raw burl, followed by pressure curing that fills every pore with clear resin. This creates a uniform density that turns smoothly without tear-out. Turners appreciate the consistent density that pairs well with carbide inserts and progresses smoothly from 120 grit through micro-mesh. Finish with Magic Juice Polishing Compound for a glass-like surface that highlights the purple resin contrast.

Always wear appropriate dust protection when turning or sanding. These blanks contain stabilized natural materials and cured resin; they are not food-safe until properly finished. Learn more about care in our Pen blanks collection.
