I love the "bark" look of the antler. But my personal opinion of the call as a whole is that it needs a much better transition, toneboard to call.

I cant tell ya how... :shrug: ...and I'm willing to bet it wont make a lick of difference in the sound anyway. :wink:

Jim
I took a pic of the top just to show how much room there is left at the reed about the only thing that could be done there is take the dremel and round the edge just a bit

Not much room there at all is there. And that watch is a bit too big to wrap it with. :laf:
