Title: Purdy in Purple!!
Post by: fargobox on March 29, 2011, 08:22:17 PM: Here is a call headed to the mid-west, she is a curly purpleheart lid (man this stuff is cool RkLu) with curly maple inlays over a red cedar box with curly maple end blocks set on a matching purpleheart base. The woodburning is really getting to be a lot of fun and this one sports a gobblers tail feather on the right sound rail and spring snowflakes on the left sound rail. Despite the unusual grain this call surprised me and turned out with a crisp boss hen in the left and a clear smooth young hen in the right, both with distinct roll-over yelpy-yawks! As a bonus and I think as a result of the grain, this call purrs like no other I have built. Hope the hunter likes it and fools a couple wiley old toms!

a great looking box -the woodburning looks great---wish I could get remotlly close to that talent.
I believe you have been at calls longer than you are saying---your work looks great and they also have feathers all in the calls. Keep making dust man and keep sharing that great work with us----

Post by: fargobox on March 30, 2011, 11:24:56 AM: Well your right about my time in making calls Jeff, but I didn't want to sound like I was old like you or something ROTFLMBO As other call-makers, you're certainly included, know this comes as a passion and a long building process that has been in the making and will continue to be so (I am always learning) for a few years now.

Post by: jmck on March 30, 2011, 07:02:45 PM: OLD or SOMETHING *wha* *wha* *wha* *wha*
