a couple calls

John_NY · February 26, 2011, 05:57:25 PM

Well the old woman has been sitting on the couch texting all evening after dinner so I decided to go out and play with the lathe. I came back in and she said "where you been" poor woman is oblivious to everything.

The first call is cocobolo with an antler mouth piece. Haven't voiced it yet.

Put together.

The call below is a one piece call made from Cherry.

I do like that top one a bunch

I like them both! The camera flash looks to have washed out the antler a bit for ya.

The cherry looks old school with the burns!

Like them both very much! Nice job John.

Thanks Barry.

Todd I didn't use a flash but it did kinda wash out, but the antler is pretty white with just a couple dark spots on it. I was trying to get it turned to as pure white as I could, but there was a couple spots that had to be left.

Shoot its not bad at all John, spots or no spots.

Would look nice with hippo ivory though.

hippo ivory, man at my age I don't think my heart could stand the strain of turning it.

John who was the luck fella to get those calls?

John_NY · February 27, 2011, 11:54:22 AM

Don't know yet Todd who will own the Cherry call It's going into an auction for a fund raiser. The cocobolo is sitting on a shelf waiting on the mouth piece to dry so I can pop it back together later today.

Todd Rahm · February 27, 2011, 12:15:40 PM

Wheres the auction gona be? And will share pics of the coco call when its finished?

John_NY · February 27, 2011, 12:22:16 PM

The fund raiser is a local event for a fella needing money to pay hospital bills.
I'll add another picture later this evening but I don't think you'll see any difference. It's probably just my lack of skills with a camera but I can never capture shine on antler.

The Cocobolo and Antler looks real good together John

alscalls · February 27, 2011, 07:18:04 PM

That new lathe is gonna be crankin em out this summer huh John?

Nice calls!

John_NY · February 27, 2011, 08:57:25 PM

I hope I can get a bunch done up this summer Al so I don't have to turn calls when it's -30 and no heat in the shop.
Well I dunno I just can't get a decent picture of the antler I guess. I just finished it and voiced it in cottontail.
