Cigarman:
I made this call with a Hut kit and cherry wood



This is the o-ring setup

Al_at_THO Game Calls:
Looks like it came out pretty nice.  Very nice job turning and finishing the call.  Clean sharp lines.   You know your way a lathe it looks  :)

The classsic cherry look. Man is that gonna be even nicer when it darkens with age. I like it!!  ;D

wjskip:
very nice!!  When you cut the groove for the o-ring how did you determine the depth.  I have only made a couple calls and on both the o-ring was the most agrevating.  I try to keep the fit between the tennon and body fairly snug.  Should I give this more clearance or continue to fight with the o-ring?   Your fit and finish look great.

Very carefully.  I make very small cuts using a small parting tool and put the o-ring aganist it and adjust from there making very small cuts each time  There is probley an easier way but thats the way I do it.
