Hey everyone, its been a while since I have posted in the duck call thread....I posted this on some social media threads about 2 weeks ago, and am just now getting around to posting up here. This is my first real attempt at carving and it is my #1 carved call. I would like to thank all you guys on here for your help and inspiration. Seeing all of your work makes me continue to push my abilities and try new things. I learned a lot on this build, and I will be trying some different techniques and tools for the next call. This was all done with a WeCheer flex shaft power carver, and some dembart checkering tools. I am now looking at micro motor carvers and air turbine carvers for the finer details. Let me know what you all think, thanks for looking!
