Homer's Osage Scratchboxes!!!!! CHECK OUT THE NEW ONE!!!!
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:42:11 PM »



Homer's Upholstery has tried his hand at Making Scratch Boxes...and it appears that my first attempts have been successful *lol*

The Call on the Left has a maple sound board with osage body...the striker is a two piece, osage and cedar!!! It gives the call two distinct sounds...this call has a somewhat higher pitch than the standard cedar scratch boxes you see...very easy to play...

The Call on the right has a cedar sound board with osage body...the striker is a three piece laminate, cedar/ebony/osage... It gives the caller some variety as well, when trying to fool that Ol' Gobbler!!!  This call has a deeper more hollow tone...sounds just like an old raspy hen...and is also very easy to play...

"I just thought I would share these with everyone, I had loads of fun making them, have a great day everyone"



THIS CALL IS OSAGE AND CEDAR WITH A HOLLY AND EBONY LAMINATED STRIKER...I LOVE THE BARK ON THIS CALL IT GIVES IT A VERY RUSTIC FLAVOR...

"And just FYI Homer's Upholstery doesn't plan on making alot of these or go into the business...I just wanted to mix it up a little bit..."

Thanks for looking...

someone help me explain.... *fall*

they aren't as easy as pot calls and box calls that's for sure...


basically you hold the stricker in your hand and "scratch the box" across it!!!  it takes practice...but in the hands of a pro they sound awesome...

and by the way i am far from a pro at playing them... *lol*
