Acrylic trumpet=Pain in the rear

Here's why you don't see very many acrylic trumpets. They are a pain to turn. But they do sound really good, are waterproof and aren't bad on the eyes.  An acrylic green swirl trumpet and a acrylic 3piece yelper.

Also a pic of my hunting call this year. A piece of dogwood burl that came from my mother in laws property. It was a victim of the drought a couple years ago. My kids climbed and hunted Easter eggs in the tree. I'm going to make both my boys calls out of the remaining wood. Last is a recent black and white ebony and ivory call.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

Great looking horns for sure. Hope that won't be the last of the acrylics. The dogwood burl is really nice looking wood.
