Beautiful call!  What is the diameter of the Antler band you used there?  I have a supply of antler I use for pens.  Never thought of using it for a ring on a duck call.  Did you have to fill any of the antler on the inside of the ring?

I can't remember right off hand the od or the thickness of the bands I gave Bill. If I had to guess I would say around 3/8" to 1/2" thick and probably 1 1/4" to slightly bigger od .
 That call looks great Bill ! have ya tried to taper the edges of the antler yet? I taper all of mine to give them a smooth edge.Stinks when turning them down and drilling them but I do like the way they look on a call.
