Great looking hen boxes and the art work is awesome. Really like the mahogany though.

Beautiful boxes! Treasures in their own right - did you wield the paintbrush on any of them?

Thank you for all the kind words. I made the hen boxes and did the artwork. Normally, I only do a little wood burning; but after seeing some of the wood burning on several callers others have shown on here, I realized I needed to improve my wood burning skills. My painting has significant room for improvement, too, but I'm pleased with my first attempts.

  The turkey head with the walnut grain has great style. I like how you did the snood, it gives the call character.

First attempts huh....I think not...there are inherent true skills you have shown and it's great to see

Macassar ebony over mahogany and Macassar ebony over black limba Turpin style hen boxes. This was the first time I have worked with black limba, and it makes a fine turkey caller....
