I took a break from making wine stoppers today to finish off a couple of calls that have been sitting on the bench. I had mentioned that I had liked several of the "old fence post" Osage Orange calls that had been posted so this was one of the ones I finished. The back had a nice dark tone to it. The mouthpiece is Blackwood.

Didn't finish the mouthpiece for this one, but thought I would share it anyway. It is a little piece of Redwood Burl that has some decent figure in it. Even better is that you can see the figure in the picture. :biggrin:

Thanks for looking,
Jerry
Those are both beauctiful calls Jerry. The burl call will be an eye catcher for sure when you get a mouth piece on it.

Nice looking calls Jerry!! I wondered why you hadn't been posting much. That redwood call is gonna be extra sharp with a mouthpiece. I have an unexhaustible supply of osage too.
Dang! I envy you fellows that can make a fence post look that good! Those are sweet Hawk!
