I had a good customer call for a a couple of crow calls recently and I hadn't made any in quite a while. I figured It was about time to change the design up a wee bit on the Corvus...I think it just looks to much like Jerry's (Hawks Feather). I like your calls Jerry, But I want mine to stand apart from everybody elses...Sooooo this is what I came up with -

This is the first one. It is made from Quina (Argentine Sandalwood)...It is okay, but not exactly what I was looking for.



I made the top bead a little thicker and left the bottom bead alone, I think this design is a keeper. My customer certainly approved of them both and was very pleased. They are Cocobolo w/ just a hint of sapwood in them. Both of these have been sold, they were a special order. :nofgr:



Oh and thanks again for the guts Bill :wink:

Beautiful looking calls. The finish looks super.

Thanks guys...I have to get some more crow guts and get some more made up for some shows. I think these will go good. I may even have to make a new one for myself. :biggrin:

Steve,

I like the looks of that call and am sure that the sound is there as well.  It might look a little like Jerry's, (not a real good copy   :biggrin:)  but Jerry's looks like others, so it is all good.  About 5 or so years back there was one posted on PM that looked like one of my calls had been used on a duplicarver for the call posted.  I sent an email (with several pictures of my calls attached) and said that I didn't mind at all that his calls looked like mine, but I did want him to know that when he saw some of mine posted that I was not making a duplicate of his call.

No....this isn't the one that thought looked a little like yours Jerry. This is the new one I designed because I thought my old style looked a bit too much like yours...not an exact copy, but very similar. I hear ya on the everybody's call has some similarities to somebody elses. I try my hardest to avoid that happening though. There are only som many ways to turn a piece of wood though. :eyebrownod:

Steve,

I didn't think this one or your prior ones looked to much like the ones I made so use whatever you like.  I keep thinking that I need to change the shape of my calls, but when I start turning they just end up shaped like the last one.  I even started one a year or so back that I was really going to change the shape of.   Kept turning away and all of a sudden realized that it was pretty close to the others and gave up trying.  I just found a few that I made shortly after I got started and they ARE a different shape.
