We're having a nasty snow/rain mix today, and I'm sitting at home wishing I could be at Unicoi. Between that and seeing all the collection posts lately I decided to get a bunch of calls out to run, and decided to take some pics. This is one of my favorite parts of my collection and I thought I would share. Gary's call in my opinion are top notch, but the quality of wood he chooses and his finish are second to none. Here are mine, and I'd love to see pics of other people's collections of Gary's calls or even just a group of calls from a maker that your most proud to own in your collection, so please share.

Soundwise, probably the Walnut powdered aluminum. For personal reasons, the Mahoe glass. Couldn't imagine being able to keep only one though, because all of them are pretty dang good. The Bubinga slate/slate is very strong and Gary doesn't typically use slate soundboards as all the others are over glass.

You will probably have to stand on something pretty high to get them all in 1 picture!!! Thanks for sharing
Awesome colllection of Gary's pots. I have a handful. I don't have any of his glass. Blue Mahoe looks like it might reel me in.

Please post up some pics! I was hoping people would come and add pictures of their collections of Gary's calls whether it be only 1 or if you have even more than me. Gary chooses such an amazing selection of wood, and has the most quality finish in my opinion. I know some people have some of the "Bacon Butter" Paduak that I'd love to see pics of!
I should be getting a call from Gary soon on a bacon pattern Padauk that I ordered, I hope it looks like the pic of the sample he sent, really neat looking wood.
Very nice looking calls.
That's a sweet collection. Would love to see a bacon pattern padauk!
All these collection posts lately and still no ones added to this? Come on guys! I want to see more of Gary's work and his awesome wood selection.

Great post! Some fantastic calls there!
Nice looking Calls guys.
I've got these on the way from Gary, supposed to be here any day. Both are green slate and I'm sure these pics won't do them any justice.
