A pair of burly cocobolo calls for reelfoot
« on: August 31, 2014, 04:37:05 PM »
I figured I need something to take with me to the Reelfoot Festival in October, so turned these two cocobolo calls.  No finish, just rubbed and buffed after sanding.  The light was strong, so I may try to get some better pics tomorrow.

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

Thanks, guys!  I love cocobolo, too, and have been on a coco jag recently.  That piece they're sitting on is gonna make some nice ones one day, but I try to take breaks with cocobolo in hopes I'll avoid developing a reaction.  I don't want to have to give it up.

With calls that look as good as those, you'll need to bring more than a couple along with you to Reelfoot. Everybody is going to be wanting one of those!

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.

Thanks a bunch! 

Yes, Scott, those thins I sent you were from the same block.  You can see why I didn't have the heart to throw them in the burn pile.  Glad they can be put to good use!
