Title: Got my belly full of deer meat so it's back to work
Post by: Ferguson on November 24, 2010, 05:51:38 PM: It's time to get some calls finished for Christmas. I've come up with a new idea of a picture on the side of the box. I'm not sure I like the mountains with sunrise. What would be a good thing to fill up the call side with or would it be better and not so busy to just leave the birds on the limb and nothing else? I personally think you can get to much "stuff" on it. Also there are some inperfections on the bottom call that didn't sand out. It's natural gray wood and a worm hole from it's previous life as a fence post. I think that gives it caracter. What do you think?

Post by: Ferguson on November 24, 2010, 06:03:17 PM: Yeah, I've thought about that but wasn't sure of it. I may try that before long since you mentioned it. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it a lot.

Post by: Turkeybuster on November 24, 2010, 06:29:11 PM: Personally I don't like too much art work on a call I think the turkeys incorperated with the fence post and the barbed wire are enough. The Mts. with the sunrise seem to crowd the call but may work if they were smaller.
As far as the imperfections are concerned I like them as that is part of the beauty of the wood. You do a beautiful job on your calls and the art work you put on them I hope to have you build one for me in the future.

Post by: callmakerman on November 24, 2010, 07:20:15 PM: David as always very nice work but I'm with Turkeybuster on this one. I like the cleaner look with out the mountains and IMO to much takes away from the look of the wood. Bill

After I got started on the sun and mountains, well, I was committed. That will be a last on that one. I appreciate your responses. I don't care for it at all, so I posted it for your responses. That how a body learns.

Oh,
The wife told me she didn't like the idea before I started. *wha*

Post by: Porter on November 25, 2010, 09:14:14 AM: David it's funny how everyone has a different opinion.. I like it, but many do not.

Glad to see you back out working on some callers!!! I know how much you value the opinions and I like your creativity!!!

Post by: jmck on November 26, 2010, 09:09:26 AM: David--the artwork is unreal. Its a delicate balance on getting the look too busy---Reguardless---the work is great.
Wish I was half as good as you with a burner, I am trying to learn.
