More Acrylic Goodness!

I made these two calls for my children. The pink call matches a pen I made for my daughter for making straight A's on her report card. The Blue call for my son as his first call. I inscribed to them on the toneboards Christmas wishes.

They sound great and look awesome!

Some Acrylic Goodness.

Bought this material some time ago and have been waiting for the right time to build a call from it.

I have to admit that I built this for myself (but I will build one for you too!) for my birthday. Iridescent green acrylic barrel just like a mallard drake head and orange acrylic endpiece, just like duck feet!

Great sounding raspy call!

Great Hunting Trip To Stuttgart!

Had a great hunting trip to Stuttgart. The first couple days were great. We shot greenheads and specks. Unfortunately the freeze came through and froze out our holes. We continued to hunt, but mostly just shot pretty sunrises and sunsets! Some pics below.

Olivewood and African Blackwood

I have been fortunate to have the use of a friend's fields and pits the past couple seasons. I decided I really needed to pay him back. I built this call of Olivewood and African Blackwood to pay back the favor. I hope he enjoys it.

This call has an Olivewood barrel, with African Blackwood cap and Endpiece. The cap is set off with a brass orbit, and the endpiece is stippled.

Another Speck Call Finished

Finished this Speck call for my father. He's been itching to get a good call in his hands and put the hammer down on some specks this season. This is the 5th iteration of my speck call design. I feel like I'm getting the design set and will have something available in the near future based on the success of this one.

This call is in Bois D'arc with a paduak lamination and a Arkansas black walnut cap, set up with double brass orbits.
