I'm going to give this a shot...
« on: February 12, 2013, 08:16:41 PM »
 Got a wild hair and decided to try my hand at call making!   *peep*

Here are two scratch boxes I made today. The first is,  English Walnut. The second is Red Narra with 160 year old American Chestnut. The Chestnut, had an interesting, heart shaped, knot hole in it. I told my wife, that this was her Valentines Day gift.

You should do well at call making Bill. You have the best calls out there for examples. It's a lot of fun to call them in with something you make.

 I made a few wing bones for myself over the years, but, I just couldn't fight it anymore.   *cheers* *cheers* *cheers* *lol*  I'm going to have a few with me in Nashville. They will be more along the lines of the Cost style scratchers. Come by and give me some feed back.

Good work Bill... I actually noticed a heart shape in the third picture you posted... Look at the center of the call then work your eyes towards the bottom left corner... Or am I nuts and had too much to drink on a Tuesday night  *aah* *aah* *lol* *lol*

Several years ago another call maker told me that once I started making calls, I'd never stop...........

very cool Bill.  I am sure they play just fine.  Wondered when you would get around to tinkering with call making.---Jason
