Title: Water Buffalo and Stainless Steel...
Post by: Arkyyoter on April 24, 2007, 07:03:59 PM
I finished this one today, thought I would show it to ya'll...it is Indian Water Buffalo and stainless...it looks and feels like glass....but it isn't  :biggrin: This one is as nice on the inside as it is on the outside....wish I was a better photographer...I borrowed an idea from Brian on the fitting of th accent ring....also, the entire call is press fit....no glue, but closed up like a safe....we will have to see how the temp/humidity effect it.....

Indian Water Buffalo. :shrug:

Is that like a tooth or from a horn!! :shrug:

I guess as big as a water buffalo is it could be a toe nail. :roflmao:

Honest dummy question here.^^^^

Sure looks nice & shiny too. :congrats:

Joe,

It looks to me like you have a pretty good handle on turning buffalo all ready.  That is a sharp looking call.  I only wish that I had made it first.  But I don't have the materials or the knowledge.

Thanks for the info!! I know some have been made from hippo tooth & I didn't think a water buff had teeth that big. :shrug:   Seems like you could get quite a few from a horn.

Arky,
  Took the call for a spin today.  Very nice,  call looks and sounds awsome.  Almost to pretty to take in the field but to good not to.  You really did some fine work here Joe!

Joe I would have to say you have definitely moved up a level or two with your call spinning. Seems like everything as of late...............or since "THE CALL" , has been outstanding. Nice job.  :congrats:
