Latest Reelfoot Metal Reed Call

Below is my latest Reelfoot Metal Reed call.

Red Dyed and stabilized curly maple over ABW. A nice white inlay to make the layup stand out. Stainless reed. Great ringing hail and solid bottom end.

I now make Reelfoot Calls

I've been working on this design in my head for a while now. Last parts (reed material) finally arrived! So I spent today building the jig, the reamer and finally building my first Reelfoot Metal Reed call. It is a runner! 11/16" bore, so a little different than any other I've seen.

Thanks much to fellow callmakers Ryan Roosa, and Benny Floyd for their tips and help getting this project going.

This call is curly maple and ABW. Email me if to order yours!

 

 

 



Ready for Reelfoot.

Reelfoot is coming up shortly. I'm ready!

 

 

Reelfoot!

Well, Reelfoot was a blast. This was my first time to attend the CCAA event at Reelfoot. I cannot believe I've never been to one of their events.

I had a chance to meet so many great callmakers and make a lot of new friends. The callmaking community is a small group, and it definitely pays to make friends with people. I spent more time asking questions and learning than I would have ever imagined.

I'm definitely planning to attend next year.

While I was there, I did manage to get my hands on some stabilized blanks, some gorgeous African blackwood and a very large haul of GREEN Bois D'arc! My favorite. There will be some beautiful calls come from that I'm sure!

Calls for Reelfoot!

Built this group of calls for Reelfoot. Five different kinds of wood included. Lots of different inlays. All sound great.

 

Really looking forward to this show. I've not been back to Reelfoot since 1999. I won the Grand American Novice that year there with one of my calls and loved the trip.
