Great Call from a Great Call Maker
None finer.
Congrats on that gorgeous adjustable!!!!
Very nice!
Beautiful call from a great guy....he is an awesome craftsman!
That's killer. It was nice meeting him at Unicoi. He's a good dude. Very nice yelper you got.
Mighty fine looking caller! Congrats!
Thanks guys for the nice comments, greatly appreciated!! What Lee forgot to mention is that I Do Not stock Snakewood as some of you fellas already know because of its hi price, I do this as a hobby and just can't afford it. In that call there is just shy of $60.00 just in materials (wood and buffalo horn) alone. I wanted a Snakewood call for myself to hunt this year and ordered a piece for my call. In my numerous conversations with Lee over the past year I knew that he had been kicking around for a long time on taking the dive to get a piece of Snakewood and sending it to me to build him a call. I had the privilege of getting to finally meet Lee in person at Unicoi and hand deliver that call to him, I kept the sister call from the same piece for myself. Thanks for the look guys.
CALL IS MIGHTY PURTY .........

I sent a beautiful piece of Snakewood to Austy last year, he created an absolute masterpiece adjustable trumpet with it....I killed a bird with it the first time out....his work is outstanding! Missed Austy at Unicoi, maybe next time.
Yes Austy's calls are killers with incredible sound.........
Thats really nice, I have 2 of these calls in dif woods, they are great. Mike
Thanks Guys. Finally got to spend some quality time with my friend Austy. And yessir, that Snakewood was quite a bonus!
Beautiful call Lee!! Both Lee and Austy are two mighty fine guys! I had the pleasure of meeting both of them this year at Unicoi! I too was a recipient of one of Austy's fine callers this year! Austy is a true craftsman!!
Wow!! A real beauty!! Congrats!!
Great call from a great guy!

What's worse is when that Snakewood blows up in the lathe. Not much you can do after that.
That call you made looks great. Nice meeting you at Unicoi.
West Augusta hit the nail square on the head with that statement, man that not only sucks but it is also a very expensive blow up as I am sure many of us can attest to. Thanks guys for the compliments on the calls. It was really nice to get to meet and have a face to face conversation with a lot of the fellas that I talk to throughout the year and shake some hands. Unicoi was a blast!!
