The rest are duck calls I've been working on for a show this weekend... Each one has an African Blackwood stopper accept for the cocobolo.

Spamming us? Your kidding me? :nono:
Active members posting things like this isn't spam. I honestly wish more members did it.
I love seeing it as much as you guys love showing it, or offering it.
God danged nice looking stuff ya got there too :yoyo: :yoyo:
OH YEA!! That really helps, now I want one of each :doh2:
There is definitely some nice calls in that bunch. Nice work Steve.
Steve, you make them single reeds or doubles ? Have you been working on any woodie calls :eyebrow: ?
Thank you sirs...I don't get around to posting many pics anymore. It just gets to stinking busy around here. I'll try to post some more in the future for ya Jimmy.
Chad - I have a few other species of wood that I've been using as well. I have some Australian Myrtle Burl that is gonna look sweet...but it the piece is soaking wet. It will be a while before it is dry enough to turn.
Vic...I've been thinking abourt the woody calls...does that count? :wo: I haven't been able to slow down enough to get one into a design yet. The calls above are all single reed. I am considering making my other duick into a double reed though. I will be testing that tonight and seeing how it works out. I'll have pics posted in a day or two of some donation calls for a local duck club.
