 :)hello fella's can i join the group???

here's some i do,
you probably saw these before..








my most favorite picture..

well guy's i to use the molded echo insert,because they work..an will continue to use them.
i did'nt have a complaint from no one/hunter useing it..
it was told to me..by a few of my customer's that it actually helped them build confidence..an killed them duck's.
it's alway's a cool thing to hear from other's how your call's or mine are actually doing in the field..it just make's me feel all funny inside when i here good thing's..but the truth be told,i alway's get so dam nervous when sending one out though...an ask the question's in my head...did i do enough,could i added something,hope it's tuned the way he or she wanted it..ect.ect..ect.
then to find out in the end..they were happy with it..no wonder i'm bald an gray..lol

have a good one fella's

see-ya

Well, I've been around awhile and I would know those calls anywhere.  They are truly works of art and I dont care what they have for an insert in them.   You make some very pretty calls.   I am glad you popped in here.  Hope you can stick around.  I know a lot of guys here would live to pick your brain and will enjoy seeing your calls.

Gald to have you as a part of Custom Call Making Community!   Very Gald

Steve, welcome to the forum. Those are some great looking calls, and I think we are the lucky ones having you join us. I'm sure we can learn a lot from one who turns out calls that look as good as yours. And if they are reasons for guys killing birds, they must sound good!

Hey Bud,

 It was good talikin to ya the other day. We'll have to get a trade commin here soon, I love the look of some of your stabilized stuff. I got to playin with some new wood called Ipe and made a really nice toneboard from it. It had great figure and sound, but it's like turning a rock (it sinks when you throw it in water ;D). Anyways, good to see you on here, I look forward to seeing more of your calls. Take it easy.

[Curmudgeon]

Yep, I've seen your stuff somewhere before !
Glad to see you making over here to the insert friendly side of the WWW. Having said that I'll note that the last post you put up over there was well received for sure, even got a reply from Ed himself! I'm still messing with DIY stabilazation, but not having much luck. My vacuum pump was back ordered, then canceled by HF. Using just 70PSI and Minwax Wood Hardner is not getting it done. I have a mess of spalted rock maple that needs to be stabilized but I'm not going to mess with it untill I get it figured out a bit more. I'm thinking the vacuum phase is critical and I may need more pressure as well.  Anyway, really glad to see you over here ! Please jump right in and start sharing your expertise and your questions.
