Things slowed down the past week, so I decided to brush the cob webs off my lathe, my carving tools, and paint brushes...
Started off with a Hard Maple squirrel call...

Then I did a Hard Maple closed reed...

Ended with a Cherry grunt call...The scene was from a photo of that buck "Dave" was chasing during the archery season...

Well it is easy to see that you haven't lost your "touch" when it comes to calls.
Jerry
Certainly haven't lost the touch! Extremely nice trifecta. Selling, or for your own personal collection??
Very nice !
Yes, very nice set!!!! The squirrel is killer looking!!!
Real nice Dave. So how'd it feel to get ya a quick fix :eyebrow:
Thanks guys!
Jim, a few months back I cleaned up my shop and reorganized everything. Now I can't find, or remember where I put everything! :doh2:
FOs, there just was not a market for the kind of calls I made with this economy. It got down right discouraging. So I stepped away from the selling part for a while. I dissolved my LLC at the advice of the "Government". -They were not making enough money off me. :rolleye: So right now I am sort of in Limbo deciding if it is worth any future effort? LOL!
Dave
Your usual great work Dave!! :yoyo: :yoyo:
Gorgeous calls Dave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark
Beautifully done Dave. :congrats: :congrats:

Nice job, Dave. You did a much better job at getting him than I did!
