Turtle Mound Flutes makes wooden, end-blown flutes in the Native American style. That is, they consist of two chambers. Air is blown into the "slow air chamber." It then passes through a "flue" (small passageway) that is located under the external attached "fetish" (also known as the bird, block, totem, and by other names) and hits the cutting edge of the "true sound hole," resonating in the long sound chamber. As we cut the "flue" between the two chambers into the top of the body of the flute, our flutes are generally considered in the woodlands style.

(Cherokee for "Owl")

This aromatic eastern red cedar flute was especially made for Daniel Ebbs. Eastern red cedar flutes have essentially two wood colors: the easily recognized red/brown and a lighter color I call "blonde."

(Cherokee for "Panther")

This beautiful purpleheart flute is tuned to the A minor pentatonic scale. Although I have used purpleheart in the past for fetishes and accent rings, this is the first time I've found a piece of purpleheart big enough to make a flute from it.

	(Golanuh)
(Cherokee for "Raven")

This A minor pentatonic tuned flute with the Golanuh (raven) theme is made of Argentine honey mesquite. Although I often carve fetishes, particularly of brown furred animals from smaller pieces of mesquite, I rarely find honey mesquite big enough to make a flute like this one. Honey mesquite is a fairly dense wood, which appears to give this flute a nice crisp voice. The fetish is an open-mouthed raven's head carved from purpleheart. A raven sitting on a branch is burned below the nest area. Below the lowest playing hole is a raven in flight. At the very foot of this flute is a raven's feather, as if falling from the raven in flight just above. Decorative "buttons" are inlaid with jet black between the playing holes.

	(Waya)
(Cherokee for "Wolf")

I hardly know where to begin to describe this absolutely unique spalted hackberry flute! I call this one my "ugly wolf" flute. I knew the wood would be a challenge to work when I started with it, but I was determined to see it through the process. When I first tried to create the "sound mechanism" area in the nest, I discovered the wood was not dense enough to work, so I cut it out and then laminated a nice piece of black walnut into which I could cut the parts of the sound mechanism, evident in the photos above. Then when I went to shape the flute, I found that the wood was riddled with wormholes! Of course there were many that had to be filled to get the flute to play, but I tried not to upset the overall rustic appearance in working the surface area. Many of the smaller and more shallow holes were left to enhance the rustic appearance. 

I was really happy when I got to tuning this flute and discovered what a great voice hit has, including playing smoothly into the upper register. I was tempted to keep this flute for myself, but I finally decided to put it out there and see if anyone else finds this unusual, rustic (but sweet playing) flute as appealing as I do. The rustic nature of this flute means it won't appeal to everyone, and I understand if it's not for you.

As mentioned above, this flute is made of highly spalted hackberry with a laminated black walnut nest area. Near the mouthpiece is a turquoise inlay of the wolf paw print. The fetish is a prowling timber wolf carved from sassafras, with the base stained red mahogany. A frontal view of a wolf's head is burned into the flute body just below the nest area, and the image of a standing, howling wolf is burned just above the direction holes.

	(Sogwili)
(Cherokee for "Horse")

This black walnut flute is tuned to the "middle" D minor pentatonic scale. The fetish is carved from South American cocobolo and sports a mane donated by my sister's horse Junior Bug. About this horse she says:

The deep red hair came from Junior Bug. He's a small compact quarter horse that has a nice smooth ride and a beautiful head. I use him pretty much for trail riding. He's generally level headed and quick on his feet. He's been hauled all around Central Texas for trail rides and goes any where you ask him too. His only real problem though is with water. It seems that once he gets into the water, if it's more than a couple of feet deep, he'll lay down in it. I guess on hot days, it must feel pretty good to him, but it's not too good for the leather saddle or the digital camera hanging off the side of the saddle! I've had Junior about 4 years now. He was only 3 or 4 when I got him, so he's still on the young side as far as the rest of the group.

Just below the nest is a burned & painted scene that wraps completely around the flute of four galloping horses on a "midnight romp" beneath a moon inlayed with crushed abalone shell. Near the foot is a rearing horse burned in silhouette before a burned & painted lightning bolt. One more image of a horse's head is burned at the top near the mouthpiece.
