A while back I posted the below call.....(Ebony call on the right)
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y102/kowotie/DSC_0251.jpg)
Said it wasn't for sale as I had something in store for it. I had plans to enter this call in the wood workers section of the Arkansas Valley Fair here in Colorado.
A little while after I made up a call for Todd. (Amboyna call in the center of the photo) I was so pleased with the way it came out that I asked Todd if he would not mind if I hung on to it and entered the two as a set.

Well by god, they had the judging last Wednesday and the results are in......

Now keep in mind that this was not a call makers contest, rather a wood working contest. But I'm still pretty pleased with 1st place. I won't lie it's gonna be kind of hard to part with this call now, but I gave my word that It'll be in the mail Monday and it WILL be in the mail on Monday.
Thanks for looking guys,
Joey

But Joey if ya really want to keep the set, by all means do so and we can just work out another call. :wink: ;yes; I'm serious.
Negative sir. We made a deal and by god we'll be stickin to it. I plan on hunting with the ebony call and lanyard and need the open space for an open reed.
Glad you like her sir.

Congrats on the blue ribbon. Make sure and send Todd A signed & framed 8x10 of that picture of you with the call. Ought to look good over the fireplace! Seriously, maybe A scan of the award and writeup emailed over would be A neat touch while preserving A little history? I dunno, just A thought.
Love the calls, bro. Keep'em coming! ~KT
Job well done Sir :congrats: :congrats: :bowingsmilie:
Out - freakin'- standing!!!!!! :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:
Congratulations ! All of those calls look like blue ribbon winners to me :yoyo:
Yoey,
Way to go! I guess the judges know quality when they see it and that call has woodworking quality written ALL over it.
