Goose calls splitting when turning

:oops
Hey guys....I'm looking for advice.
I'm using an expanding mandrel to hold my work piece. When turning the pieces for the calls they're splitting where the guts go in. It's a 5/8ths hole ID and it's turned to 3/4ths od. Is there a way I can stop this from happening? A second one tonight split on the top half of the call. What am I doing wrong??? I'm even using a nice hard wood (oak). Please the lp me...TIA.

O/D on a goose call barrel is usually 7/8" because of this. My barrels step from 5/8 to 3/4 to 7/8. Its just too thin. You can use a gutsert, or back up the connection with some thread that has been CA glued in place.

Go you Wade Carpenters site; Webfoot Custom Calls and get you some ORA/Gutserts. The use of Gutserts will eliminate this issue for you!
