While at the NWTF convention at Nashville, I ran a couple of calls that Mike had made for the competition. I was really impressed by their look and sound. I asked Mike if he had any in his bag for sale and he did not. So I asked him to make me a couple. He sure did not disappoint as these came in the mail this week. The push pin is made from spalted Maple and the trough call is Poplar I think. It has two playing surfaces, aluminum and corian. Two distinctly different sounds in the same call. Pair of fine calls from one of the premier callmakers out there.

I actually had been on Mike's waiting list for a few years. I think I got on about the same time as David aka drenalind. I was so impressed with the push pin and trough call that I chose them over a box call. So that is why it only took 6 months...... plus about three years.
Those are sweet!!!!
Congrats. Mike is one heck of a call builder.
Nice!!
