Every now and then, a turner gets out of his box, and tries sometthing new. Here is Osager Brian Watts first shot at a longbox.
Brian set plans for this build in Nashville, when He picked up the poplar wood from Billy and Stover Perryman. The wood is almost solid black on one side and rolls into some neat color on the other. Brian tried quite a few different lids during the build and it seemed it just wanted this bloodwood lid. He picked out Yellowheart for inlays to make it pop. The inlays really set the call off.
The call starts off high in the front with great kee kees, slides into good breaks on both sides and rolls into some plum nasty rasp in the rear. Shes got a gobble in her to beat the band too.
Brian, ya took your time and I liked the way you wanted to do all the work yourself. She turned out really great and she's a a hunter for sure. I hope it brings ya many good memories in the turkey woods my friend.
Ya did a FINE job on this call-not only does she look great, shes a singer also !!!
