"Dad, I want to try and carve a woodsy face." Said my daughter Kelly, who's home from college for the summer. So after a few quick pointers, and a couple scraps of wood, I handed her a Red oak call, and turned her loose in the shop with my carving tools. She's alway had an artistic nature. And has come to her father's aid many times when I was stumped on a carving scene. Giving her a Red oak call to carve was a "trial by fire". In that, anyone that's carved on Red oak knows that it's a bear to work. But by gosh! She free hand carved a very good "woodsy face" into that call! I'm dang proud of my little girl! "Little Ms. HuntnCarve"!
And here's the call.

Now maybe I can turn the keys over to her and devote my life to more hunting! LOL!
Proud Dad,
Dave
Thats cool Dave, and she did a nice Job. :congrats:
You giving up call making would be like me saying, I'm not gona collect calls anymore. :iroll: Sounds good, but its darn impossible. :wink:
Yeah, you know you aint quitting nuttin :nono:
Thats pretty cool that she hopped up there and wanted to give it a whirl. Did a dang fine job to boot. :yoyo:
Go ahead and quit now Dave as I have a couple pieces that would only go up in value :innocentwhistle: Your daughter getting started may cost me a mite more coin as she is good already. :yoyo:
Yep she done a great job
Might could say achip off the old block :laf:
Looks good from here too Dave. :yoyo:
:shck:
:holdon:
Now who REALLY IS carving those calls you're selling & does Kelly know how much you're gettin?? :shrug:
:laf: :laf:
Hamer,
I gave her a piece of whitetail antler to try carving on. She immediately turned up her nose and started complaining about the smell! LOL! I think I'll let her try some cow horn? That'll get her!
Now they know what poor Ol' Dad goes through. LOL!
:laf: :laf: Sounds like you have the respirator hidden purdy good Dave. :eyebrownod:
Seriously tho I've seen your "Old man" carvings & now Kelly's & I think they are both quite nicely done. It appears tho that yours is a bit older looking. Maybe your depicting Gramps & she's depicting Pops. :shrug: :laf: :laf:
Nicely done Kelly. :yoyo:
:yoyo: :yoyo: NICE JOB!!
Dave,
It looks like your kids are talented like their father. Tell her she did a great job on the carving. Or maybe you should tell her that we all complained about it and that she should NOT return to YOUR shop. :biggrin:
Jerry

Beautiful job she did Dave tell her awsome job for us :yoyo: :highclap:
