Title: 1st Cost style box
Post by: TRKYHTR on August 14, 2012, 12:21:47 PM

I've always wanted to make a cost style box call. I had no idea where to start or what equipment I needed. Thanks to Scott Tyger who lined me up with what I needed. I ordered a book he suggested but I don't have much patience. So I took a piece of wood I had laying around and started to make one. Several times I wanted to just throw it in the garbage. I finally decided to just finish it. After I put it together I tried it and there was absolutely no sound on the left and barely any sound on the right. I took it inside and put some chalk on it and adjusted the screw and this call came to life. So this is my first ever box call it is a camphor burl box with a walnut lid and a walnut base with walnut inlays. What do you think?

That's a great start Joe. I really like the sound on the right side.

That call looks good, much better than my first try! I didn`t try to inlay or checker till my eighth or tenth call. Keep at it they get easier with time.

man Joe---thats alot better than my first I actually tried--my first ever attempt was Cocobolo and it was HORRIBLE  ;D .....ya jumped right into the fire---have ya been bit by the bug man  ;D.
Just got off the phone with Joe, and let me say, he picked a burl wood, and man has he got the sound out of her. The call sounds really strong. Keep at it man---you done great onn the first one. *up*
With the way he plays any call he picks up, I am betting it wont take him long to nail it ----good luck Joe
