Title: Call Display Shelf
Post by: Firemt04 on May 20, 2020, 07:07:13 PM
I'm wanting to build a shelf to hang on the wall to display my calls. It'll be for box calls, pot calls, strikers, and other styles that I plan on adding to my collection. I'm looking for ideas and would like to see what y'all have. Thanks in advance.

Those are definitely nice displays. Keep 'em coming guys. I know there are more than two people with displays.

I have a display for my calls, but it doesn't hang on the wall. I think most people that have something to display their calls use a cabinet of some sort.

You're probably right. I know if my collection keeps growing the way that it has I will have to get a cabinet eventually.

I have been wanting to get one of these for a while, seems whenever I have the money there are none available in my price range and when I do not have the money there are plenty in the range I could afford.

My father had several of them as I was growing up, like I have told others I really think I have dove into this call collecting because all the woods remind me so much of him, I can't afford a lot of the furniture, carnival/uranium glass and clocks and so on that he had but I can kind of remember him in these calls or honor him at least. This shelving unit is something that I dearly want, it must be antique and must have wooden shelves and no lights inside. Sorry, I am remembering things and rambling now.

No need for apologies. We all have our reasons and I love hearing why other people collect.

I really thought about a cabinet like that but glad I got the cabinet with storage under the bottom. Great place to store strikers, chalk, boxes, turkey pictures, box calls in the drawer, etc

Recently got a different way to display my strikers

I love the glass front cabinets, and will hopefully one day get me one, but in the meantime I built a shelf for the wall. Just got it finished and put up today. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200607/b7932422c34dac75eccf9f1bb6d5e8c2.jpg)

Thought I would put some of mine in my hutch, not how I really wanted to display them but it will have to do for now. I will be able to add my box call type calls to the bottom shelf after I figure out what to do with the books and other collectables I have in there now. Just noticed I forgot to remove the stuff on the middle shelf in the one picture, sorry about that.

Thank you. Still hoping to move it to a china cabinet like the one pictured above eventually, I had a few people pull out of deals for them on my in the last few months, I was less than happy.

Mine currently. Mirror in the back makes getting good pictures difficult. Picked it up at a second hand shop.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200819/a77008cb9cf45173ffe0aa87d40d1a20.jpg)

Yes. My youngest graduated high school this year and I ordered the parts off of ebay and did the series for him. There was a double of his first hunt with his grandpa that I gave to my dad and a few others of folks that he's hunted with. Put a few together for some guys at work who's kids got their first birds this year. They turn out pretty good.
