Here is one of several crotch walnut Striblings that I am working on. The grain was looking too good to hide, so I popped it with a little Danish Oil.

You are correct. I wrote a post on here bout the difference. A picture of the rounded paddle that I make and one like Mr. Stribbling did on the right. (http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll150/jleddleman/IMG_1555.jpg?t=1280071176) the Stribling double tone is at the 45 degree falloff. Very hard to master his method. His is like an upside down flat bottom with 45 degree sides.

That is the one you were looking at Chris. It will make one fine Stribling.

Johns stribblings are a great sounding call. I have heard them and have been impressed with John's craftsmanship in each call he makes.

Here is the finished Cutting call. It is in Mississippi River Persimmon from from a club on the River, Burke Landing. It is over Steve Browns crotch walnut from SC. 95% of the original Striblings were in in this combination. Tuned Gobbler left and raspy hen left. Sounds just like my 30 year old personal cutting call. Mr.E

Thank's Dave! When I first started hunting, we could not find a box call loud enough to carry on windy days in the huge tracts of land between the Mississippi levees? We heard of the collection of very loud Striblings that Dr. Winn had and hunted with great success. We called Mr. Stribling. He was 80 at that time. He had retired from making calls and passed away shortly after that, so I borrowed one identical to this posted call and made my first call in 1986. I was hooked when the calls obtained the results that we were seeking. The bonus was that with the thick doorknob on the end of the paddle, you can make thicker sides and the softest of notes hold that double tone YAWK no matter how soft. A great pitting, finesse call.

Great history and fine turkey calls.

I received this call from Mr. E and all I can say if you do not own one of his calls, send him a pm and get on his list. His idea of how a call should sound is superb! I now have a Turpin short box, a one sider and a cutting call. Thank You Mr. E for all the special attention. Chris
