Robert Gray Cane Call (pic heavy)
« on: August 07, 2017, 02:21:14 PM »
Wanted to share some pics of a new call I added to my collection.  I picked up this call at the Louisiana Callmakers & Collectors Association's annual show on July, 29.  I got to meet with a lot of Louisiana callmakers and added this cane call to my collection.  It has a Louisiana style toneboard with a hand filed hard rubber reed.

Mr. Gray was a pleasure to talk with and has probably been making calls longer than I've been alive!  If anyone is interested in adding one of his calls to your collection let me know and I'll send you his contact info.

Below are some pics of Mr. Gray and the calls he had at the show.  As well as some close up pics of the cane call I picked up.

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

Very cool! Love all the carved calls, but the cane call at the end really is wonderful.
There's a duck call in that block of wood. I just have to find it!

Wow, impressive work showing a true call maker. Bargain prices also and like others I think that's a great cane call you purchased.
