Sweet call Joe. The skip line checkering looks fantastic!

You won't get money rich in this hobby.  The richness is in the culture, the craft, the friends you meet along the way, and being able to call in a wary game animal with a call that you made with your own hands.

Wow, very pretty! :bow: I think that skip-line is killer and different from the majority. Is this insert an arkansas? I assume you checkered the barrel AFTER finishing it? Impressive :bigup: ~Andre'

Nope this is the Reelfoot call section.  So it's a reelfoot.   Only way to do a CA finish as far as I know is before the checkering.

Thanks guys.

Reelfoot, the original duck call. What's on your lanyard?

I thought it was a reelfoot by its shape,size,etc. but I couldn't see the wedge so I was just making sure. ~Andre'

That's a beautifully classic call you made.

So, I'm not really up on all the checking techniques and jargon, do they make "skipline tools" or do you just use a tool with a smaller LPI for the skips?
