Something new (Pictures too!)
« on: March 07, 2012, 07:29:00 PM »
I haven't posted any pictures of my calls in a while/haven't been "finishing" many, but here is one I'm making for a friend. I gotta admit it'll be hard to let go.  :innocent: Can't wait to be able to start producing again.

It is an African black wood insert with holly inlay and cypress barrel that has a woodburned swimming pintail (first time burning on a call).

Very fun call to make and look at. I might make a display for it as well... One more coat of finish, tune, then polish the band and it's done.

Took these pictures way in the woods. Hoping it has a nice affect. 
Tell me what ya'll think of the call, I'm no professional pyrographer (nor do I have the right tools right now for the job) ~Andre

 :clap:  Thats a sweet looking call my man....I like it all, shape, wood combo, inlay, and the woodburning work is great. Keep em coming Andre.    Ron
Of all the things I've lost while call making...its my mind I miss the most.
"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says is never accurate because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
