Title: Couple Fence Posts (pic heavy)
Post by: Ferguson on April 05, 2011, 08:02:37 PM
This Ol'Fence Post call is headed to Crane and was made out of a cedar snag over 500 years old. I counted 21 growth rings per inch in one spot. It has been standing dead for who knows how long.

This was a special request for my Barber. I sure hope he likes the sound?  *peep*
As you can tell he's a big rabbit dog and bird hunter. This was his favorite dog from years past.

I really enjoy seeing your work.  Some of my favorite things when it comes to turkey calls:  long boxes, cedar, and great woodburning.  You've got them all.  Great Job.

Fantastic Caller. Brings thoughts of Old School.

Great caller to just look at during the slow Mid Day as it Heats up the South. Great Work.

Both calls are fine but the all-cedar is simply stunning. Great woodburning detail.
