Clear Acrylic

(1/4) > >>

Bob from Eames Custom Calls:
  I am involved with a calling clinic for kids, and one of the things the instructors asked for was a clear barrel so they could show the kids the vibration of the reed as they called. I took a couple of chunks of 1 3/8" clear acrylic sheet and turned them into a complete clear duck call, so the kids could see all of the inner workings on the call. I haven't quite got them as polished as I'd like, but they were kinda cool so I thought I'd post them up. The other call is a Black Locust call I had laying around in the shop when I broke up the inside of the first insert by drilling too fast. I figured it'll make a good hunting call, but the chip out in the clear insert is hard to miss. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Very nice Bob,I like the shape of the clear acrylic call.I enjoy working with acrylic more then I do wood anymore.

Cigarman:
Looks good. I realy like the acrylic and wood combo.  I might have to find some clear acrylic and give that a try. 

HaMeR:
Those are some nice shaped calls. Very nice.  ;D

BigB:


I think they look great!  I just hope that the clear barrel will stay clear long enough for you to show off the reeds working before it fogs up on ya.

That is a very cool thing you are doing with the kids.
