2 new short reeds

these two calls are the 1st I have used my own gutsert. I turned down a piece of 1/2 PVC pipe to 11/16"OD and filed out to a .619 bore to fit the WEBfoot SR 11 guts into. Why you ask, I think it just looks better when you take a call apart and see wood instead of the bought gutserts. Maybe it just me. but I think that PVC will keep the tenon from cracking. What Do You Think?

Ron, A couple of good looking calls and your finish looks good as well. I too like to see a wood tennon on my wood calls. There are many different ways to reinforce the tennon and your way is pretty cool. Good thinking.

I have to agree I like seeing wood when I take a call apart also.

I think the plastic insert will give too much and the tennon will eventualy crack. JUST MY 2 PENNIES.
