Title: Gabon & Macassar Push Pin
Post by: Old Gobbler on January 08, 2012, 06:19:04 PM
This is the newest design Turkey Hunting Call I have been working on - It has a very authentic punchy sound to it , that I really like -

The whole body ,paddle and push rod of this push pin is Gabon Ebony , but the bottom sound board is a special layup of Macassar Ebony .It has some serious backbone to it , it has the ability to do some barely audible tree yelps all the way up to so ear ringing locator yelps and the whole way through it maintains its authentic tone . I made this up for personal usage

I made up a lanyard for it to keep the call at the ready ,and the lid from being lost , and I can just drop it in a hunting situation with out it making a noise, then lift up the gun on the gobbler silently - The cord keeps the lid locked onto the call when closed snugly - The lanyard can be wrapped up and put inside the call, if it is to go in a pocket or vest-  It has a special paddle stop and Lanyard block, made up my me, with a hand lamination of special cork and Gabon Ebony sandwich , Its silent for hunting - the whole call is made entirely from scratch, by me

I plan on doing a video clip so it can be heard as soon as I can figure out to load up the  Video camera

Thanks for looking--Shannon

I really like the looks of that call Shannon. I myself have never given time towards fooling with a push pin call. Looks like I may need to give one a try.

What is the little piece for that you have your name on that resembles a piece of a hair comb?

I don't know much about these callers and have only run one a couple times, but I know enough about woodworking to know this is solid work and a sharp design.

Dang Shannon, that's some fine craftsmanship right there.
Didn't know that you were making calls but you hit that nail with a sledge hammer.

That caller looks like a coffin, and I'm sure it will bury a few gobblers! The Gobbler Coffin?

I've never used a push pin call but if I found one that nice I'd be a fool not to buy and use it. Thanks for sharing.
