Title: A Couple of Jordan Yelpers
Post by: Austy on March 13, 2014, 05:14:33 PM
The Jordan Yelper headed to NY is to a member here who several months back when I posted a question about Jordan Yelpers was the only person who offered me any help or answered any of my questions.  You would think I was asking for the formula to something super sensitive.  Thanks Bill for taking the time to help me out, Enjoy the call its on me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These are 2 Jordan Style Yelpers that I made recently.  1 is headed to New York and the other to Virginia.  Both of these calls have the same internals as the call that I was lucky enough to win 1st place in the Jordan Class this year at Nationals with the exception that the new owners had both ask for a more traditional looking Jordan style call with a wing bone mouth piece.  Both of these calls have a Blue Goose wing bone set into the call for the mouth piece with a cork lip stop.
This 1st call has a Black & White Ebony Bell section with a Marblewood mid section set into the bell section of the call.  I love the look of Marblewood when its finished to me it looks just like Bamboo.  Each end of the wooden call body was turned down so that I could put a piece of Spalted Black Locust Burl on each end of the call body to dress the call up some.

This 2nd call has an Osage Orange Bell with a Marblewood mid section set into the bell section of the call.  On this call I have a piece of Gaboon Ebony with a thin piece of Bloodwood between to add some eye appeal to the call.  I also wood burned some turkey tracks onto the bell of this call to dress it up some.

This is what the bell end of the call looks like from the end.

This is another picture of the mouth piece end of the call so that you can see what I mean by the way that the Marblewood kind of looks like Bamboo and the accent pieces that I added to the call.

I will have to let the new owners comment on what they think of their new calls once they get them and have had a chance to run them some.  I know I'm happy with how they both turned out in looks and most importantly the sound, these things rock!!
Hope you guys like them!!!!!
Thanks for the look.

Glad to hear that the call survived the trip and that you are happy with the looks and sound out of her, she sure does play easy!!!  Thank you for all of your help and answering my questions.  You went out of your way to help me out and I wanted to make sure that you know that it was greatly appreciated and that call was the least I could do for you.  THANKS BILL!!!!!!!!!!
