Post by: C. Brumfiel on January 20, 2012, 03:58:52 PM: Message: My calls are made to represent calls of past call makers. Most of the “Old Timers” didn’t use a finish because the calls were made to kill turkeys and not sit in a display cabinet. Call makers of the past made calls out of necessity if they got messed up they would just make another one.

I try very hard to make my calls represent calls of the past. I sand all checks and scratches smooth and use a hand rubbed oil finish on my calls. My calls probably won't be winning any beauty contests. I make them for one intended purpose and that's to roll big ole Gobblers.

You got that right. There were a couple that were decorated up but most of the old calls around here made in the early 1900's were just plain and ready to use. Some had notches carved or marks for kills. Some had initials and so on but most were just calls.
