Title: Cost and Ashby
Post by: bowrebel on March 15, 2011, 08:02:44 PM

These are my 2nd and 3rd Cost style calls and my first attempt at an Ashby style box. All three are locust and walnut.

Thanks Phil!! All of them sound good.  I am very happy with them. The Ashby is higher pitched then the other 2, but I love a higher pitched call.

Thanks fellas

Thanks again guys.  A buddy at work gave me a nice piece of locust that had been in his barn for 20+ years and free wood is always the best to practice with.  *up*   I enjoy working with the locust but it is a lot softer wood then I thought it would be.

I've used Locust for lids but never for a box. Man thats some hard stuff to chisel out. I like the look of the Ashby callers.  Bill
