Bill Lyman Shortbox
« on: January 28, 2010, 12:48:23 PM »
My good friend Bill sent me this shortbox a few years back.  He really liked the sound of this one.  :o
The call is Osage/Mineral Stained Poplar.  I know Porter will appreciate this one.  ::)
The call sounds great and has a lot of rasp and volume.  No need to carry a longbox along with this call. I believe this is one of the first calls that Bill tried his hand at checkerig.  Sorry Bill, I know you weren't too happy with the checkering at that time but I'm proud of this call. *cheers*

Lou,

Great looking call. I love Bill's work. My all-cedar from him is one of my favorite box calls.
