Finished the 2 calls made from walnut with holly inlays but with and end cap on the stopper end of the barrel from hard maple.

Glad someone is finding time to build some calls.  You are really on a roll Ben!  Beautiful calls.

Oh, wow!!!  Those are beautiful!!

I don't suppose you took some process pics you could share.  Would love to see how you did the inlays.

Great set of calls Ben.

Do not have any process pictures, but what I did was to use a jig that fits above the piece on the lathe that accepts a router and used a 45 degree router bit along with the index fixture on the lathe to get them spaced and the depth of the cut determines how long and wide the inlay is.

Thanks for the explanation, Ben.  I think I'm getting the idea.
