I turned this call this weekend and it ended uo with a very small (1/16") flaw in the acrylic. It is IN the acrylic and wont sand out. It may be a heat crack or just a stress crack from who knows what but I wont sell the call with the flaw so...............
One of the Moderators has choosen a number between 1 and 100. I'm not telling you who so you can't bribe him. If you want to participate, pick a number between 1 and 100 and whoever comes closest without going over will get this call. We will anounce the winner on Tuesday night so I can get it in the mail to you Wednesday and with a little luck you can take it calling this weekend.
Good luck
Al
The call is turned from Snow Camo Acrylic with a Stainless steel band and one of my new tone boards.

Congrats frshwtr :congrats:
And Kudo's to you Al for your generosity :yoyo:
i also want to extend a thank you for the chance t owin this call, the wife thought i was going off the deep end when i read the post that i won. most of my calling has been with electric in the past few years. back in the early 60's i used an olt predater call for summer fox for bounty. now i'll see if i can still do the manual call. actually i have an un-marked call a friend gave me and i did get a red with it last year after spotting him at a distance when late season rabbit hunting. not reall shure what is meant by PMing but seeing as how i already told you about myself here is my address.

Al i received the call today its beautiful. fellows the picture does not do justise to a beautiful peice of work; its almost to beautiful to take to the field(dont worry i'll try it. its also my first experience with an openreed call and it screams very easy. thought i'd let you know i'v always used the production type barrel calls and last year experimented with a diphram call (yes it works) but nothing i have used works with so little effort. i cant express my thanks to Al words dont cover it. I also want to say how much I"v liked coresponding with this great bunch of people.
