Great classic lines. I used that oil finish until I found out about PPP. I use it over the oil after it dries for a while, and I love the look. Nice lookin calls!

I am new to all this. I have been putting a couple of coats of tung oil, and that is it. I would like to put some wax or something else on these last 2 calls. What is PPP, and where can I get it?


Thanks
Neel

How much do you think that I could sell the last 2 calls for? They have alot of duck in them. I have a price in my head, but don't know for sure if it is fair ( for me or the buyer).

Thanks
Neel

Nice looking calls. You sure are doing good work. I would never guessed they are only your 14th and 15th calls. You're work really looks good. Quit it you're making us other newbees look bad.  ;D

I think that I am going to sell them for $75.00. I still want to put some wax on them, I am having trouble figuring out what and how. If they sell then that is fine with me if not then that is ok also. I have an african blackwood call that I am working on now, and it will not go anywhere for less than $100.00. I hope that it works out where I can sell some. If so then I will definatley use the money to upgrade my equipment.

Thanks for all the great comments. It definately makes me feel better about my calls.

Thanks
Neel

From the looks of the duck calls on your web site, and what you post up here, I think that 'guy'  may have been right!
And JohnNY is right, we newbies we don't need any help looking bad so just tell us you have been doing this for years and we will feel better !

You can get some decent enough wax to apply on a lathe from Hut

I got my PPP from a local woodcraft, but they are buying it from HUT. I tried selling mine that high for a while, but I finally set my prices to where they move a little better. It's always nice to keep them moving fast enough to be able to afford more wood ;) Best of luck

Photobucket finally came back on line and now I can see them. Great looking calls. Yep, put them up for sale and see what happens. Go for it.
