Title: Mesquite Owl Call[double tenon]
Post by: Bucko on March 09, 2009, 01:23:12 PM
It's been awhile since I posted any pics. so I thought while I was making a lunch I'd snap a couple of pics. of an Owl Hoot I made out of Mesquite wood.I've been making some snug tenons and I thought if one tenon was snug then two on the same length would be tight.So how to do it?After looking at a previous made call for thoughts I decided to use a longer band to form the 2ed. tenon area.To get the length of band I used a 1" copper sweat coupling cut in half which would make the outside tenon while the inside tenon would be made the standard way.I also used a 1" sweat copper cap for the end with a 1/4" hole drilled into it to control the back pressured air to form the sound.This call has a heavy,solid feel also with the copper fittings.             (http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n298/spurs8/mesowl.jpg)    (http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n298/spurs8/mes2owl.jpg)

Man you are not kidding Parker - that is a nice one!   I like the "thinking outside the box" with the bands and tennon too.   The call came out really sharp!
