Nice work Bill. I really like the AFB  tube I got last year.

Thanks guys,
Working on a couple of new ones with the large diameter I.D. in Juniper should be ready in a day or two.
Will post them when finished.

Mike, the shorter tubes are just under 11/16" and the large diameter tubes are 7/8" I.D.
I experimented with different diameters and I like the .687 dia. for higher pitch and the .875 dia. for lower pitch hen and gobbler yelps.

I would like to see the mouthpiece. The bloodwood looks nice. I'm a west Kentucky tube caller. "Between the Rivers" area. I use several tubes and cut my own reeds. I like the looks of your calls.

Check my post for All Bocote Tubes down a little farther on this section.  That picture shows the top view of my standard
mouthpiece and my larger diameter mouthpiece.

 Thank you! A personal preference is for the shorter tubes and smaller mouthpieces. I can tune for tone by tension on the latex and cuts made. I'll be ordering a call soon.
