Title: Antique Walnut
Post by: Blackfalcon on February 26, 2010, 10:59:43 AM
Here is a call I've been working on this week, an all walnut call. Every time I have seen one, I have been inspired to build one, and after hearing one of Al's, wanted to try it again. I've been working on some competition calls, long boxs and other orders, and have some ready to send out.I had wanted to send some calls to the Dixie Deer Classic again this year, but nothing seemed to come together except for a major migraine, and this call.
I'm pleased with the way this one came out, especially after the week I had, but it's all good, it has a good front and rolls over into some nice rasp, I can put more rasp in, but for now I'm leaving it alone!!
Thanks for looking, Dave
Walnut base and striker from a Civil War Era Barn,(Saw some Civil War Action!) from Larry Gresser,
Walnut for the box was from Lee Youngblood, Thanks again Larry and Lee!!

It is Mike, I tuned in some more rasp I think after you heard it,  still has that nice front and a touch more rasp on the tail.
