Some folks will agree that WildCalls are known as much for the quality of wood made from as much as their ability to talk the talk. But health issues have stopped me from making any new ones for most of the last 3 years now. So since I can't post pictures of any new calls, I thought I'd instead tease you a little with some of the woods I have been waiting as long as 12 years to make into calls. Story about them to follow if anyone is interested...

Beautiful pieces of wood. I wish I would have known you when you were still making calls. Not that I could have afforded them, but it sure would have been fun to see.
Story sounds good to me.

Ladobe,
Tell all......I'd like to read or hear some of your stories... :congrats:
Jerry got me started on this site and I've been hooked ever since. Nice pictures.
Al,
I just might take you up on that offer. I didn't get to go to LBL, so I think I am due a road trip.
Jerry
wow now theres some fantastic lookin calls waitin to be turned outa that wood ....
and ya i could listen ta stories all day long :biggrin:
I was thinking of you saturday while hunting in the LBL. Came across a nice sized white oak burl. It was the size of Grandma's washtub. I also saw a track from what you call a kitty :eyebrownod: Jimmie
That stuff is clearly presenting additional health risks, you should get rid of it immediately. I'd be happy to dispose of it for ya. Beautiful wood...I hope your health improves so I can see some of your calls.
