I thought I'd post a few pictures of what I have been doing in the last week. It has not been alot fun this week with it being below zero most of the time. My shop gets pretty cold out there. They are all distress except the 2 Osage calls that are howlers.

I can understand the low temps. My shop is in my basement and even with a heater in there (I was cleaning, not turning) I could only get it up to about 55. Not fun.

Mi torpedo heater is blowing cold air in my garage. :laf:
I made one open reed deer horn dist. today and said.... the heck with it ,I was too cold!! I have a few more to make before LBL but dang is it cold down there! I got em drilled so turning should not take long. :pout:
Awesome looking calls!!
Great finish too! Nice.

I like the skull :eyebrownod:
The calls are very nice too.... :yoyo: :yoyo:
I think skulls are going to be my new hobby collecting them. I just got the one in the picture "coyote" and I got a red fox, bobcat and have a raccoon skull coming. No I gotta find a skunk skull.

Would you like me to mail you a few John? I could always send them with a scarlet return address.

When I moved down here from Alaska, I left behind several Caribou antlers and some Moose sheds :doh2: :doh2:

I really like how you combined the antler with the calls, they turn out very nice.
