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.

Email me if you'd like have a similar call!

Mid-January Hunt - Rockin!

Hunted Stuttgart again and we hit it right. Hunted my farm, a friends farm as well as Bayou Meto.

I managed to get out with my Uncle Larry, who I hunted with for most of my life, but who has not gotten out with us in the past 5-10 years. It was great to have him in the blind with us again!
 
We also timed it right with the birds, the weather and where we hunted. Hunting is a lot like Real Estate. Its all about 'Location Location Location'. Well, we had the location right.

Burnt Bois D'arc!

My Great Uncle used to 'burn' calls by holding a rag to them as they spun on the lathe. With careful application of pressure, he could create beautiful patterns in Bois D'arc to highlight the grain and make the call look great!

I recently made a Bois D'arc call with a African Blackwood Stopper which needed a little more character. I dug out the butane torch and gave this one a flame pattern!

Call is not for sale, but I can make one for you. Email me to get one started.
