Fellers,
Had this new call design and wood combo floating around in my head for a short while now. I've done two pieces similar to this one in the past but never had one that met up at the band. I always either did just a straight shank or a shank that ended in the forming of a lanyard groove. See pic below....

You can kind of see the shank I'm talking about in the background...

So anyhow I jotted down the idea so I wouldn't forget it when I did have some free time to do some turning.
Anyhow thought you all might like to see the finished product.
I know the pics are not the best but the camera phone's all I had in the shop that night. :shrug:

Yerry

What makes ya think he is sitting on them Bow? :innocentwhistle: :biggrin:
Both are darn toot'n perty there Joey. :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:
Thanks guys!
This call was a first for me but it won't be the last. I enjoyed the challenge of getting a "seem less" fit between the two bodies.
Bowster, the top call I made quite some time ago with the intent of giving it to my dad for Christmas. That didn't work because I made a maple/acrylic call that I liked better. So he got that one.
Thanks for the compliments Bill, Yoe, Yerry, Ham, and Toddy. Like I said, it's always a pleasure to share your company!
Take care, and talk to you all soon.

Pretty dang good shots for a phone camera. :eyebrow: Actually the work you put into your calls Yoey, they look good in any picture.
Love the wood and finish on the first one!
Super job as usual. :congrats:
