I ran out of antler 2 or 3 months ago. I just finally got a few pieces and had time to turn a couple. These will be going to Illinois along with 6 others as soon as I get them finished.

Yep, still lookin good. :congrats:
John,
I had to look up shedua. I hadn't noticed that wood before. Looks like it has some nice qualities, not the least of which is the color. Nice looking calls.

Thanks fellas. Herry I hate sanding the stuff. No matter how much you sand it has little pits in it. So I stain it and it fills the pits in black and I like the look so now I don't mind using it. :alscalls:

Finally got 2 more done up. Only 2 more distress and 2 grunt calls and I'll have the order finished.
