Post by: YoteCoaxer on July 05, 2008, 05:59:47 PM

Hi all,
I am new to this forum, and also new to custom call making. I've been making calls for only a few weeks, but I am really enjoying the heck out of it! I know I have a lot to learn, and I learn something new every time I turn the lathe on. Below are some pic's of what I have been working on...please feel free to critique, and give me your opinions.

Welcome to the Forum Mike. I like the shape of those. Especially the 1st two. Personally I would like to see a deeper lanyard groove. Twould be a shame to lose a nice lookin call like that. It also appears your sanding is very good. HTH

This may be a little late, but welcome to FnF. I too like the shape of the first two calls the best, but that doesn't mean that the third one will not work. Just personal preferences.
