Number one box call gents. She is cedar over sassafras. The cedar is from a local mill and I cut the sassafras from the yard. A dead tree that needed cut and something useful made of the wood. Best use I could think of.

Hooked is right. i have an eight foot 2x8 piece of walnut on the porch ready to be cut into. Some of it is wormy. Has a burl on one end too. Some one will get that piece for some pots!

I have to agree... looks wonderful for your first one!  I'm a big fan of sasafrass too!  I like how you added your own spice to it!

So spill the beans... did you have fun doing it or are you ready to pull your hair out?

Porter, not really pulling hair cause I don't have much up top. LOL! I love to play around with wood, just have to take what the Good Lord gives ya. I made some mistakes for sure. Learned a whole bunch in the process of building the call. Overall this is a low volume call. High pitched with good rasp on the bottom. Will she kill a turkey? Yes I say this little call could and will kill a few. I'm happy with what I got out of this one.
