Title: Checkered Blackwood open reed
Post by: BigB on March 12, 2011, 11:52:37 AM


I haven't made too many predator calls lately, as I've been working on duck calls.  While I am working on the duck calls, I keep getting this itch to make a predator call.  So, I gave into the itch and turned out this open reed, which is the first predator call that I've made in about a year. 


African Blackwood checkered at 16 lpi, aluminum band and my own hand crafted toneboard.

I have to say, that's the best predator call you've made for about a year.  :eyebrownod:  :laf:
