I see a recurring theme here Bill. That one looks like a Michelob bottle to me. :shrug: :eyebrow: :roflmao:


I think those colors go real well together. You're finish looks real good too. It appears you can cradle that baby just right & be able to flutter your little finger over the barrel whilst honkin on it. Meaning very little movement to change the sound. I really do like it. :thumb2:


BTW-- How much osage you got??

You asked for honesty, ok, the call, looks great, the picture, not so much. :biggrin: The pic isn't doin your call justice. I like that design/shape of call, it flows nice, nice wood combo. Curious, what are the dimensions?  The picture taking, did you check out Al's tutorial on his site about photographing game calls? Great advice, just like the rest of em. Does your camera have the timer? You can get a little tripod at wally world perty cheap, set er up, hit the timed photo, so there's no shakin. Maybe it's a little close for the camera to focus. Maybe back er up a little, and if you need to, zoom it up a little on the computer. If you've heard it all before, I apologize. Just tryin to help a brutha out. :biggrin:

I think we hashed the photo thing over on someone else too.
It looks to me like your trying to take a close up and your holding the camera with your hands Bill.

Any little movement burs the picture when your zoomed in like that, and no matter how hard you trym or how much you think your NOT moving....you are.

Set the camera on something, set the timer, focus it, and go grab a beer. When ya come back the pis is done crystal clear providing your camera is capable of taking pics that close.

I like it - Nice color contrast.

QuoteI really wish I could take good Pics

I dropped my digital camera in the lake while on vacation...  It's dried out and it works, but I'm not sure it'll ever be the same.
