[Arkyyoter]

Hi guys.....made some today, and finished up some others....was near 100 degrees outside, and a nice 78 in my shop  :thumb:

I seldom find a piece of antler as solid as this first one, so I wanted to do something with it...her is how it turned out...

This next call was a special order, it is the first call of a set...it is Copperhead acrylic, with a copper band...has a water buffalo insert which is "O" ring fitted...JC sleeve and brass JC reed tuned smooth...still needs a final polish...

Very nice Bradshaw 
That antler is my favorite. That thing took some polishing didnt it.
Nice work

Joe,

Nice looking calls.  Like Jim I like the antler the best, but I also know how much sanding it took to get the Bocote that smooth.  A few coats of finish and that one is going to shine.
