Here are a few calls I finished up this week.
John
This one is a maple distress open reed. I used a crayola marker to color it before I finished it with carnauba wax.

This howler is ash and I covered it with deer split suede. It will take awhile with use and wear to get the leather to look better.

Looking good John
1 question though with putting suede on the out side of the call wouldn't that change the sound of the call
U da man John. Great work.
If you need me to wear that call and break it in for ya just say so John. :biggrin:
I love the green.......Think Orange! Jimbo would go nutz for it!
I like the big howler too......AWW hell I love em all.
Thats a clever idea. How long B4 someone tries fur? :biggrin:
Yea we should tan a squirrel hide tail on for a call with the tail hiding the reed for an LBL prize....... :roflmao:
I still love that green one :eyebrownod:
The sound didn't change at all. The leather only rolls over the rim it doesn't go inside the call. Thanks for all the kind words. I appreciate it.
