I've been tinkering around lately with the checkering tools and practicing on some duck calls. Checkering takes forever, and while I was practicing on a duck call, I had an idea to try out on a predator call. It's a similar concept to a raised checkered panel, where the checkered panel is above the rest of the call body. I also cheated with this method as I didn't have to worry about any overruns as well.
African blackwood with a brass band , open reed predator call. There's about 6 hours of checkering work in this call.

This one isn't for sale. It's the first predator call that I checkered, and I like to keep all of the first calls that I do in a new style.
Thanks,
Brian
