Folks seem to like watching the progression of a call. So here's a look at a carving I did on a freshly turned Pear wood call:
Rough out:

Just four steps and 'walla' you have a beautiful call. I could never find what was hidden in the calls that I made, but you sure can.
Nice work.

P.S. (edit) I was just looking at the finished call again and think that I saw a groundhog sneaking through that field.
Jerry,
I saw what would have been "Hog No.22" for the year the other day...Unfortunately, the neighbor woman was out working in her yards. So at my wifes advice, I did not risk the shot. :pout:
Just a matter of time.... :innocentwhistle:
Dave your calls are more amazing by the day. The carvings are awesome as usual but your painting skills make them pop!!!!!
