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!

My lanyard for 2017......

Well, this is my lanyard for 2017..... at least for now.

The blue call is a new prototype I've been working on for quite a while, blue dyed spalted maple and African blackwood. The center call is one of my classics in bois d'arc and African blackwood. The whistle is in desert ironwood burl and has a carved drake feather on it.

I've got this hanging from a Pegleg lanyard. If you don't have a lanyard, look up Pegleg's paracord on Facebook. He's great!

Veterans' Day 2017

As Americans, we are lucky people. We are lucky to have wonderful people that are willing to give more of themselves to our country than ordinary citizens. Those people that do that, we call them soldiers and veterans.
 
I participated this year in a Veterans' Day hunters giveaway and had the honor of shipping this call to an active duty solider at Ft Hood. He was very excited when he received it and I'm proud its in his collection.
