Title: Decorative Duck Calls
Post by: Houlihan on May 26, 2010, 01:48:40 PM

These are a few decorative and personalized duck calls I've done in the past few months. The black and white call is on a stand, which can appear to be part of the call but isn't.

Appreciate the compliments.  Definitely the last call was my favorite.  But some guys thought it was a little too busy.  The first two are just simple personalized calls for friends that didn't take near the time.  But they're fun to do.

Hey Mike, they are all fantastic, but I'm with Bill.  The black and white is some the best ever.

Excellent combination of features, the repeat of the arrowheads and checkering style in the stopper.  I love the basketweave transition, but most of all I love the scroll frame around the ducks in the scrimshaw.  I guess it's because I've always loved the art of the scroll engraving on guns.  It adds that little extra touch of elegance.

Way to go Mike  *up* *up* *up* *up* *up*
