My first one, sounds excellent even if I do say so :bigup:


Did a CA finish inside the barrel and where the insert goes to add some strength

That's a nice call and that wood is pretty....It looks like Rosewood....Is it?

Good Job :bigup:

That looks very nice.   The insdie of the barrel looks like it came out very well.    Looks like Nicoraguan Cocobolo.   I always like that light orange color.    Good looking call.

 :up1:  That looks good!  That shine off the inside of the barrel IS awesome!

 :pot:  How much longer do you have to be on here before I can claim you photoshop your pictures a bunch to make your calls look better than the rest of ours?!   :rofl:

LOL...I do use PS, I add a contrast curve and apply sharpening. I have these turned OFF in the camera so I have to do it for every image. A White Balance tweak might be needed depending on wether the wife or kids have every light in the house on that could spill over into my lights.....but no added color or saturation is used. Takes about 30 seconds then I resize and add a border. Remember...I dont let the camera make my decisions LOL

 :rofl:  I'm just upset that I don't have mad picture taking skills like you.   :rofl:

 :up1:  I'll get over it. 

I should really get in the shop and turn something.  Lately, it looks like I'm just a freeloader around here.  I have not shared a call picture in a long time.
