Title: ShadeTree Callers Turpin call
Post by: Shadetree Callers on July 22, 2012, 06:01:35 PM

 I had a request recently for A Turpin style boxcall . The new owner hunted for many years with a Roger Latham call before losing track of it some years ago . I built this one to the same dimensions as the calls produced after Latham purchased the Turpin Turkey Call co. This one is made from some beautiful wormy maple that I got from my moonshiner friend in NY state and just a sliver of cherry on the base for color . He usually stokes the fire with this wood but will occasionally find a good looking piece and send it my way . The Lid is made from yellowheart from Brazil . It has that classic Turpin bark and will hopefully lead some turkeys to a dirt nap . Thanks for looking !
Bob

Very Nice job Bob.  The Turpin short box that I am making is made from an orginal Tom Turpin short box, and they look just like that.  I used that orginal for 13 years.  I like to refer to the Turpin "bark'' as the Turpin Yawk.  It is definately a throatier yelp than the Cost Style.  Some days they will work to Cost Style, other days it is the Turpin.  My nephew picked up a Roger Latham off ebay about a year ago and the box was vertually the same except Latham had put a bushing in the Top hat that, in my opinion, dampened the sound. In old style calls, where you tilt the lid all the way to play them, the more free the screw/lid/box, the better the yawk.

Thanks John . I agree , the birds love a Turpin call somedays . They have "balls" when it comes to yelps and gobbles ! Thanks to all of you for the great comments . The Turpin calls have a reall following among turkey hunters these days ! I have a few more coming together now .
