The first 2 must be Chestnut...hard to get good Chestnut to cooperate, but the wider growth rings help to avoid skips btwn rings.  Good looking calls

I'm still building calls when work, kids, and other activities allow, lol.  I try to keep a couple calls moving forward all the time.

Yep, chestnut!  I'm excited to finally get my hands on a good piece, really happy with the sounds this board is producing.

If you dont mind can you tell me what product you used to seal or coat the calls. I tried minwax tung oil finish and was not happy with the way it darkened the poplar bodies. Looks great on the oak lids. I was just curious because of how light the chestnut still is on your calls. Beautiful job btw.

HillclimberWV, a lot of us spray them with Lacquer, Minwax, deft and others, though it won't hold up as well as say an oil finish, but they don't affect sound, much faster to apply and hold the color well in the wood.

 I was excited when Toby's  Cedar over Chestnut longbox showed up at my door. It is a finely tuned longbox  that  sounds outstanding.
