WOW you've been busy those are dang nice calls :yoyo:

The 5 call has nicer grain pattern all the way around. Here it is opened up...

And together with the 1 piece
Notice the design on the two. There was some thought that went into this design :wo: The exhaust is the same on both the 1 and 2 piece. Check out the top of the stopper and top of the 1 piece. Then notice the mouthpiece on the barrel of the two piece and the mouthpiece of the 1 piece...the same again. The one piece has all of the same design attributes as the 2 piece, but in half the package. It also has a brass reed where the two piece is a double stainless providing two distinct sounds. Thanks for looking.
Steve

Nice, Very nice, These are the first of your calls that I've seen, I'm impressed. Good Job .. Aaron
I like it. :congrats:
Very rich looking wood the way you finished them. Can't believe they aren't getting snarfed up.
Thank you Aaron...I don't post many calls, but when I do I try to do a bunch at once. It is a real pain in the butt to do since I have to use two computers to accomplish the task.
Jim, all I can do is offer them up. If people want them they'll buy 'em. If not, they just go back into inventory to do some shows. No big deal. Probably a bad time of year for predator calls. :shrug:
Steve
I think the calls look real good. It looks like you did a great job on all of them. I'll say for me it is a timing thing. I have several calls or call makers in mind, I try to stick to it for the most part, doesn't happen all the time though. :nono: Sometime I'd love to add a call or two of yours to my collection. I really like your turkey calls too, I was thinkin about that walnut one you posted, but you can thank the turkeys around here for my attitude towards that. :madd: I'm ready to put down my bow, and grab my gun, and see how smart they are. :nono: Maybe that's where my attitude comes from, they're obviously smarter then I am. :doh2: Anyways, good job on the calls. :thumb2: Scott
Steve, Those are some beautiful looking calls!! I really like your design and the two pc. set up, I bet they are a pain to make. Time consuming huh? Keep up the great work :highclap:
Those are really nice. How do you get them all the same?
9th
Thanmks guys...Ninth - they are all similar but not exactly the same. There are subtle differences in each one, it may not be visible all the time. I follow the same design pattern, but I eyeball them as far as any measurements. The only thing that is truly the same is the size of the blank when it starts out. After that minute differences occur that either the wood dictates or I incorporate.
Steve
Well I would say that you have a pretty good eye then. Those are pretty dang close from the looks of it. I made up 10 of the same call for a guy once and they all were different sizes, hehe.. it took about 20 of them to get 10 that were close. lol.. Aaron
Coulter, great job on the calls :yoyo: Kerry
