darrin dawkins scratch box
« on: February 23, 2020, 08:51:02 PM »
Darrin has been working on scratch boxes for a while now and came up with a design that he likes and sounds fantastic. he started by scaling down his box call and then  making adjustments from there. just thought i would share because he was just wanting to gauge the interest in the call, if you have any question or would like to hear it give Darrin a call. thanks

I ran three of his prototypes and they sounded great.  Glad he's playing with new concepts.  Great guy and great calls!!!

The call is one piece chiseled out like a box call with a top glued on for the sound chamber. Poplar and walnut construction with walnut striker.
