I like your shape and I prefer the one on the right. But that's because I prefer one piece of wood instead of the laminates. Just me though. Nice calls.

Yep, I realized it was two pieces glued together. That's what I meant by laminates. Sorry for the confusion.

Both of those look good.  The one on the left doesn't turn my crank like the one on the right does....Oh buddy you've got a nice looking call there.   :yes:

The important thing is how do they sound?


But if you want comments about how they look, I like the character in the wood on the call on the right.  The laminated glue joints on the left call look tight, and that is good.  When you do laminations, you want to align the grain.  Call collectors and buyers will look for details like that.
