I have been away from call making for about 4 years and have finally been able to re-prioritize some time in my life to get back on the lathe. I didn't realize how much I have missed it until I turned these three over the weekend. The two on the right (live oak burl and laser engraved cherry) sold in less than 24 hours and surprisingly the Thuya burl on the left is still available. That one is my favorite of the three.
My favorite of the 3 as well, may have to try to get one from you.
R they baffled?

No they are not. I made 3 or 4 with baffles and just didn't like the way they sounded or ran. Just my personal preference.
Good looking tubes. I prefer non baffled myself.
Nice looking tubes .
looks great, agreed, non baffled for me mostly
Very nice! Couldn't stay away, could you. ;D Like riding a bike. :icon_thumright:

Yep. I have had the Thuya burl blank drilled and on the mandrel sitting on my bench the whole time and when I chucked it up on the lathe it was like I had just turned one the day before. I found my happy place again. :happy0064:

Happiness is wood chips flying. Nice work and welcome back.
I received the Thuya burl call today and WOW does this call sound awesome . Not only does it sound good but it looks amazing, The photos don't do this call justice it is a beautiful call. I hope you continue to make more calls they will sell for sure
Thank you Woodwzrd :icon_thumright:
I purchased the live oak burl call and it sounds as good as it looks.

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. Just throwing this out there but I like pics of dead turkeys with my calls if it helps you bring one to the barrel. Enjoy and good luck.
My daughter drew 3 youth hunt draw tags that start on the 4th. Hopefully we'll be sending you a pic of a smiling 11 year old with her first bird.

That would be awesome. Good luck to you both.
Great looking tubes!
I am glad that you are back making your calls. Many people waste their whole life and never find "Their Calling".
And we get to enjoy the results of your "Happy Place".
