Cocobolo revisited

[John_NY]

I made this call about 6 months ago when I first got my lathe. I always thought it looked like a soda bottle and I hated the way it looked so I kept the call hidden on the back shelf.  It is a closed reed cottontail distress.



I took it back out in the shop tonight to see if I could turn it into an open reed distress if there was enough wood left to re-turn it. I ended up having just enough. I put my delrin toneboard in it and now It's done.  It has to be there isn't enough wood left to re-work it again.

Looks good John.    Kinda cool how experience starts playing with those 1st calls isn't it?

That looks great.  I have a big box of that sort of call I cannot bring myself to throw out, someday.

Good answer.I like it.

I'm very pleased with it and I like the open reed better also.  I was going to go out to the shop tonight but the snow is deeper than I want to walk in. LOL.   About 6 inches so far and tree branches are starting to break from the weight of the wet heavy snow.

Throwing it in the wood stove had crossed my mind Bill.
