I thought we could joke a bit...
You might be a call maker if
1.) You go to town and come back with 5 logs from the side of the road....
2.) You are paranoid your nieghbors will call the cops for tuning a duck call at 02:00 in the morning..
3.) Your Christmas list consist of stabilized burls
4.) You think about cutting up the old family heirloom chair because you think it will make a nice Call!!

How about, you might be a call maker if you get in trouble from your wife for setting aside chunks of burls from the pile of wood you're supposed to be cutting and splitting for firewood. And get told that she will start burning calls if we run out of wood in the middle of winter, lol.
