WOW very nice Al

I like it Al. I did a few like that except open reeds and I sanded them down until they were pure white. Kinda looked like ivory but I like the natural look too. I can never decide either.

I'm not real keen on it. Maybe it's just the photo, but it looks out of proportion.
Just honest criticism

I am not sure Al

There is something about this one Al

I know I cant put my finger on it.........

You got an end shot of that call Al? Almost looks like something I can't put my finger on. If you want it tested out you know where to send it. Looks way coooool to me.

I am still carving on it Barry so the inside is not done yet........I will post and end shot when I am done.

I can only work on it while my ordered calls are in the drying stage and such so it will be a while.

It is different...I like It

I think the bell ruins the proportion of the call. Looks great on its side in the last pic but the other views just don't strike my fancy . Jimmie

I left some room inside for more turnig........

..........I will change it up as soon as I get time.....

I have to agree with Jim on this one. The shape (mouth area) is out of proportion and gives a "frail" sort of appearance. Just my opinion, but I've turned enough antler to believe you took it down a little too far in the neck area. The porous, innner antler is over exposed. It detracts from the rest of the call. Sometime just a little bit of shaping is all it takes to produce a beautiful call! Go too far, and you lose it.
