Nice looking calls Al and you got that second call lined up perfect.

Thanks John.....That marble wood is tough to line up at all....and I had to resharpen my tools as it is tough stuff!
I wanted a different shape than that but there was an unattractive flaw in the wood I had to remove.
Nice lookin calls Al. The curly Maple shows up nicely. :yoyo:
No stain HaMer... :biggrin:
I used Linseed oil to bring out the grain then when dry I used a spray on over it to give a hard finish. :wink:
