Blue water ribbon whistle

[VECtor Calls]

I couldn't stop thinking about how sharp this call is while I was in the treestand tonight!  Had to come back for another look!

Thanks Vince.

That whistle is crazy cool! Do you plan on hunting it, or is it for somebody else?

Thanks Andre.  I'm not going to hunt this one personally.  It'll probably be a give-away on my Facebook page or something like that, or might end up getting sold to one of the guys on my waiting list if somebody wants something wild.

Thanks Aaron,  I was going crazy trying to find some of this type of acrylic also. I found it at a place here in Dallas at woodworld. It is stopper blanks and is 13.50 for a 7.5'' piece. I bought some grey and orange with a little red called lava. I also got some lime and dark green. They said they could get custom orders filled if I wanted a specific color combo at the same price. And your right. I have learned more than I will ever be able to repay on this forum and have never met any of you guys. Any question I have asked has been answered with out reservation and to hold back something like where to get acrylic would seem very selfish. I may not share customers names or like that but this is a no brainer. I saw the limited edition meat hanger echo calls on ebay awhile back and couldn't sleep till I found this at W.W. I may screw it up but now I know where to replace it.lol. I was hoping to get to the contest in Oct. but I have a litter of 11 lab pups I hope to take to a big trade days the same weekend. At 450 to 500 each I think I will be a salein' puppies. Maybe next time.

I got a little piece of the lava color too and it is great looking stuff.  Sounds like your local source is priced pretty fairly.

I'm no plastics major but it turned pretty clean.  I've turned some of the acetate (?) blanks that did the same thing but this stuff turned pretty similar to acrylic I'd say.  Very, very comparable.

So it it more than just a pen blank in a long bottle stopper size then?  I've seen lots of pen blanks that look similar to this, and I have always wondered why no one made them big enough for calls.

1-1/2" square, about 6" long.

The few I ordered were exactly 5" long Vince but I did read you can get them to order aswell

[VECtor Calls]

No, I don't mean size, I mean the material. I have seen a lot of pen blanks that look similar to this, but I have not seen them in the larger size. I am talking material talk.

I'm not 100% sure but it could be Rhino Plastic?  I turned a piece last night and it had a different smell to it than acrylic?  Not sure what it is but it sure is pretty.  Turns alot like acrylic as well. I did find it a bit easier to polish so that tells me it may not be acrylic but some form thereof?

Mutt

[Aaron at Wingerts Woodworks]

Not sure Mutt.  Very possible, as Beartooth sent me a little piece of Rhino plastic rod with my first order.  Haven't turned it but it could be. 

[Mac Dietrich]

I love this post!!!! Well done Aaron 

[VECtor Calls]

I want to see some more of this material Mac!

I think I would really enjoy making a grunter out of something like this!  :)

Vince I don't think I've ever seen an acrylic call come from your shop have I?  Would be cool to see.
