WILD THANG-----a 3/D checkered call thats bold in color
« on: September 09, 2012, 05:48:25 PM »
Here is a shortbox in Black Limba with Redhart lid and base. Its a call I owe ole Shadetree from a trade for a few of his famous scratchers. Bob called and had a idea that I had almost tried last year...the boys mind never rests I dont think.. *lol*. He wanted a call where inside the checkering ya can see another color to offset it and make it pop. Pop it does....dont think ya would need a flashlight on a dark night with this one  ROTFLMBO....its bold in color and loud and proud in sound too. The right side starts off kinda clear and breaks into some rasp, the left side starts off with rasp and gets nasty raspy in the end of the stroke. Purrs really easy and has a good gobble in her too. Hope ya like her Bob......roll a few with her soon. Spent the whloe weekend trying to get the lid right,3lid later I finally got one right *fall*-----I won this trade---I got plural scratchers for one call   ;D

Jeff, that turned out nice, saw that in its early stage but the final product is really something.  I am sure Bob is going to roll some gobblers with her. Congrats to both of you on a fine trade

Oh boy here we go...the new rage from the rolling thunder shop of Snakeboots...poor boy gonna be inundated with orders for these and he ain't got no hair left from figgering out this-a-one! ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO

I think my eyes are deceiving me, cause they have been known to do that especially when it comes to fish caught, and the size of my... *peep* :o ROTFLMBO ROTFLMBO

But seriously folks, Ole Jeffro out done hisself this time, this is FLATOUT COOL!!! RkLu RkLu and leave it to a couple of callmakers...one to thunk up the idearr and dah udder one to screw the light bulb in. *lol*

She's a beau Jeff a true beaut and Ole Bob has been lost lately so this'll be good for him to use to find his way back home :grouphug:
