A few recent completed calls
« on: February 27, 2009, 11:04:05 PM »


I finished up a few calls tonight, so here they are to share.


Moose antler barrel and acrylic toneboard.

I visited a local countertop shop and received a few scraps of corian to try out.  Here's my first attempt at a corian call.  It was relatively easy to drill and turn, and polishes really well.  I definately will be going back to the shop for some more scraps.

A burgundy dymondwood open reed



A faux green hedge open reed.  I was trying out a new finish on this one.  It was a gunstock oil finish, but I don't think I like this finish.



A canvas micarta open reed.



And I haven't made a closed reed in a while, so I spun up a couple tonight.  They are made out of burgundy dymondwood.




Thanks for looking. Any and all comments welcomed.

Brian

Beautiful calls. Not sure if it's on my end but I can't get the sound clips to load up.

Try the sound clips now John.  I had a few extra digits in the link that I fixed.

They all look great Brian! I'd have thought those dymondwood calls were coco if you hadn't told what they were.
