At least they sound like a duck..

I was on a barrel making binge for a while. Decided to make a mess of stoppers to finish them up and the results are pretty disapointing looks wise. I have 5 more barrels to finish but I think I'm going to make each stopper custom for each barrel on those. Here are the ones that looked tolarable with the light Rock Maple stoppers. I do think they sound good however and that is a MAJOR hurdle for me.
L to R, crazy spalted Ash/BLO, spalted Rock Maple, spalted Rock Maple/BLO, KOA, and a new to me wood Osage Orange. I'm going to make a new stopper for some of these, but just wanted to show you guys I actualy do make a duck call ( and toneboard) every once in a while.

So where are the bad looking calls? The ones in the picture look pretty doggone good to me. And if they sound good, send em to me and I will get them out of your misery ;D

Richard,

 They all look nice. Try using some of the OO for the toneboards. It's one of my favorite sounding woods, and it machines and finishes very well. Great job!

Those are wonderfully done!  I really like the style of your calls, and the wood isn't bad either :)

I would be proud of them if I made them.   Nice stuff!
