So for me I love the rounded lids, and particularly 1, 6, 8, 10, and 11 with 6 and 8 being my favorites.

That is one of the things that surprised me the fact that everyone seems to like the rounded calls.  I thought the square end calls would be the most popular.
Thanks again.

Brutal honesty, they all look fantastic. There is a variety of styles for everyone, and each one has its own style. One thing that is consistent with all of them is great craftsmanship, and quality.....

All your calls are mighty fine. Please add 7 to that list. The inlays really pop. You probably should have a square caller in your line up.

Thanks Phil,
Some of the responses so far have surprised me.  The two that are my favorites haven't been mentioned yet.
But I do see a trend and that will help me decide which calls to make next year.

As far as looks go I like the simple yet elegant designs of #1 Walnut/Poplar & #6 Purpleheart/Mahogany.

If I want something flashier then I would choose #7 Purpleheart/Mahogany really like the looks of that one.

That said I think they are all wonderful looking pieces and you are one of my goals to get a call from before next season.

Thanks for your input Sir-diealot.
#1 & #6 seem to be the most popular so far.

#11 has grown on me also,

are you getting noticeable differences in sound from the 2 different wood rails in this design

Before I made #11 I thought two different woods would give me two very different sounds but honestly there was only a slight difference.
But I thought it looked cool anyway.
