Well the old woman has been sitting on the couch texting all evening after dinner so I decided to go out and play with the lathe. I came back in and she said "where you been" poor woman is oblivious to everything.
The first call is cocobolo with an antler mouth piece. Haven't voiced it yet.

I do like that top one a bunch :yoyo:.
I like them both! The camera flash looks to have washed out the antler a bit for ya. :wo:
The cherry looks old school with the burns! :congrats:
Like them both very much! Nice job John.
Thanks Barry.
Todd I didn't use a flash but it did kinda wash out, but the antler is pretty white with just a couple dark spots on it. I was trying to get it turned to as pure white as I could, but there was a couple spots that had to be left. :madd:
John
Shoot its not bad at all John, spots or no spots. :biggrin: Would look nice with hippo ivory though. :innocentwhistle:
hippo ivory, man at my age I don't think my heart could stand the strain of turning it. :alscalls:
John
Looks good John!! :biggrin:
Thanks Glenn.
John
John who was the luck fella to get those calls? :wo:
Don't know yet Todd who will own the Cherry call It's going into an auction for a fund raiser. The cocobolo is sitting on a shelf waiting on the mouth piece to dry so I can pop it back together later today.
John
Wheres the auction gona be? And will share pics of the coco call when its finished? :innocentwhistle:
The fund raiser is a local event for a fella needing money to pay hospital bills.
I'll add another picture later this evening but I don't think you'll see any difference. It's probably just my lack of skills with a camera but I can never capture shine on antler.
John
:eyebrownod: The Cocobolo and Antler looks real good together John :congrats:
That new lathe is gonna be crankin em out this summer huh John?
Nice calls!
I hope I can get a bunch done up this summer Al so I don't have to turn calls when it's -30 and no heat in the shop.
Well I dunno I just can't get a decent picture of the antler I guess. I just finished it and voiced it in cottontail.
John
