This is what I've been up to. Check out the gray mud cured post. I think it is Oak but ain't sure. It has worm holes in it but should be some workable blanks there. Most ost the big ones are for duck calls but I do have a few more post to work on. *cry*

Being an old duck hunter and studying under the late Great Jimmy Riddel out of Jackson, Ms. (#207 in the attached collection: http://www.antiquefishinglures.com/call.htm) how to make and tune his duck calls, I can appreciate the tool dulling abilities of osage. Jimmy never could get the mud cured posts. Most of the Ark. call makers had a monopoly on them. I am attaching my collection of some of Jimmy's calls with a short barrell Lorman thrown in. The one on the far right is my favorite. Mr. Jimmy used for 3 years and I got in 1967. It still is my go to call. It is walnut with osage bands.

Richard if you are making duck calls out of that, I would love to see a few how they turned out.
Thanks,

Mr John
There is some Duck Call going to come out of there but I sure ain't going to be the one building them. I'll leave that to the guy who know what they are doing. I made a couple and didn't take long to figure out that I can afford a good duck call.

Hope you will save me a blank or two of that mud cured osage. I will make you one like the call on the right, and it will be a killer.
Love your work on the Turpin reproductions!!!!!!!!
