Beautiful wood you hit the jack-pot of walnut there. Best I've seen in a while :bigup: Nice job on the call also.

Looks like enough for each of us on this board. :pot:

If only you were in the Kansas City area!!!  I'd say you bring the beer and I'll send you home with a chunk of walnut!   :devil2:

Actually I've got a handful of guys waiting on calls made from this stuff.  I have a couple set back as spares in case I booger any of the blanks up while turning the calls, and if not I'll have a couple extras.  After resawing the chunk I bought I have a 2-1/2" square piece that is about 10" long that I'll probably make into a pepper mill for my wife or perhaps a few wine bottle stoppers.  Heck, maybe even a duck call someday.

The call in the picture was sent to Turkey and Turkey Hunting Magazine's grand slam callmaking competition about a week ago and was entered in the working call category.  Not sure how it'll fare but it is the best I can do, that's for sure.
