The New Classic

I've been working on this design in my head for quite some time. It is a little something old, and a little something new. It takes some design cues from some of the callmakers of old, but most specifically, my great uncle, Chick Majors.

My goal in designing this call was to take some of what made the calls of the 50's and 60's great and then take some of what I've learned in the past 30 years that makes modern calls great, put them all into the mix to make an awesome call that has a mix of both.

I've succeeded in doing so. I have a call now with the character of the calls of the 50's and 60's, but with the volume and control of a modern call. It is a classic Arkansas style call and it sounds that way. I shot birds over the prototypes this past season and that is what matters most!

Claro Walnut And African Blackwood - A Great Combination

Recently delivered this call to a customer. They requested Walnut, so I looked for a blank that had some great coloration and figure. I love the coloration in this call, and the finish really brought it out.

Adding African Blackwood tips with brass orbits to set them off really added some character to the call.

Hunting Pics and a Completed Little Lagrue Call

The top pic comes from my father. He's been in Canada (Manitoba) for the past two weeks. He and his group have shot over 300 birds in the past two weeks. Something around 100 of them were greenheads. I made the calls in the photo a long time ago. I built the larger call in around 1997 on my old jig, and the smaller call was turned in 1999. He has shot literally thousands of birds over those calls over the past few years.
