Title: Black Walnut and Holly Set
Post by: ghost5 on June 16, 2014, 09:10:09 PM
I made this set for a guy that had an idea that just kept growing. He wanted a pot call and matching striker and was thinking about a short box but had no real idea of what he wanted. He sent me a laminated blank for the pot and the striker and said do what I wanted.

I turned the pot then added holly inserts into all of the sound holes. I cut the striker blank in half and added a solid holly peg and got it turned. The left over piece from the striker was big enough to make a tube call to match so that was next.

I figured out what I wanted to do with the short box and got it glued up, cut out and built. The left over pieces from that became a scratch box and matching striker but for some reason I can not find the pic with all the calls in it but here is most of the family.

Thanks you would not believe what I have run through the shop the last few months I turned so many pots, locators and owl hooters I didn't make any box calls until the very end of the season I made one for a guy in Iowa. Add in the duck, goose, predator and all the others and it has been busy. Oh and a trip totaling 3200 miles of driving to do a show in North Dakota and filming for a TV show in the middle of trying to keep up I felt like   *aah* this for weeks.
