Another "scratched" its way into the mailbox...
« on: January 19, 2011, 05:13:25 PM »

This time it came in a little brown box, not one of those red, white and blue boxes...but its what's insde that counts, right?

I came across this beauty very recently from Tom Crook, of Mississippi Scratch Box Turkey Calls.  He has been building these scratch boxes since 1989, and this is a great little scratcher for sure!

Its ambrosia maple, and #2 of 2 in this wood.  It has a mineral-stained poplar striker, and a straight cut sound board, versus a rounded sound board on many other scratch boxes I've seen. 



It sounds terrific -- nice raspy yelp, perfect little clucks, and a sweet sounding purr. 

Clearly I've been bitten by the scratch box bug...gonna be a good spring...



I can't stop picking it up, running it, and staring at it -- its beautiful wood, complete with worm holes!



A very good looking call, don't you think?
