Here's one of my latest calls...just completed yesterday May 24, 2005. Checkered Mahogany and Purpleheart. The contrast is off a little on the last two pics...it's actually not that dark. Hope you enjoy!

I really do enjoy making them. I can usually complete 1 call every 2-3 weeks. Of course that's just working on them at night and after work when I get a few hours to spare. Because of the mahogany/purpleheart combination, this call has really good rasp. I have one just like it that I made for myself...it's an awesome sounding box! All I can say is look out Georgia turkeys...this call is headed your way. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Tracy, I think you need to work me up one of your longboxes so that other Georgia calls don't get lonely. Cove must be a happy feller! I need a loud one to reach up Rome ways and call some of his birds down my way

Actually this one is heading somewhere around Duluth, GA...but not to Cove. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I was showing one of my calls (just like the one pictured) to a fellow turkey hunter and this guy from GA walked up and had to have one...he wouldn't take "no" for an answer. I told him that I had never sold any of my calls. Somehow he got my address (probably from my hunting buddy) and later sent me a check for $85. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I guess I could have sent the money back but at that point I was kind of obligated to make him a call...so I did.

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not posting my calls on here to try and drum up business. I just like sharing my joy of call making with my fellow turkey hunters. I would love to make a call for each and every one of you for free but the reality is I just can't. I really hated taking the guy's money but I guess that was his choice. He got what he wanted and I got a few extra bucks to spend on more turkey hunting stuff. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm making a call right now for my Dad for Father's Day. I'll post pics of it when it's done.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! They mean a lot...except for the one about me getting my butt kicked. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Ain't nothing wrong with gettin' some daddybucks for your time and talent. 85 is the perfect ballpark for a call that looks that good provided it's got turkey in it, which knowing you, I'm sure does. I understand though, money may take the joy out of it, so feel free to get happy for me anytime http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. I'll return the favor with a nice slate over glass with fancy inlay.

Keep up the craft, you never know....when you get old like me, you may tire of the computer racket and you'll have hundreds of turkey hunters makin' a racket for your calls. Dad of Dad's Calls just started makin' boxes in 97 and now is at it full time. I heard he made 100K in a year just off turkey calls here recently.

Shhhiiiizzzzzznnnnniiiittttttttt!! I wish that box was headed toward Rome!! That is one FINE looking piece of work there h4b, i may have to find that lost number in my cell phone and set up a secret swap so all these message board pirates dont talk you outta a call before i get one!! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Actually when is that package headed toward Duluth, may be able to cut it off at the pass!! LoL Honestly that is an incredible looking call, impressive! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
