Wound up with a stabilized cob and so I started fooling around with it seeing if I could turn it into something. Don't have any tools to speak of so I did most of the shaping with sandpaper. Staggered out the interior with a hand drill and then tapered it from the bell end with a file in the drill. Turned out kind of cool and sounds good. Snow goose mouthpiece. I'll try to make a sound file of it later once I'm past the coffee drinking stage of the day.
Looks really NICE! How's it sound

That's pretty neat.
Looks great. Hope you call in one with it.
:icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: Like that a lot. Congrats, looks like a budding yelper maker arrived on the scene...
Here's a sound file of it. Not real happy with the clucks and cuts out of it, but it might make a fine tree yelper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FspDJV3_OHg
Pretty cool looking David. I would imagine the soft insides of the cob will make it a subtle call. Nothing wrong with that.
Cool
Neat looking yelper

I think you're right, Tony. I sealed the inside of the cob once I bore it out thinking that might harden it some but it's still a really soft sound. Wondered too if I should've shortened it some to make it quicker and less throaty. I think if I try the cobs again I'll try to figure out a way to make them two piece like a Roanoke call. Nice thing about them is that like wingbones and cane I don't need many tools to fool with them.
Maybe a brass sleeve in the inside of the cob would brighten the tone.

I like that idea. Also made me wonder what Ralph Permar is doing on the cob trumpets he's turning.
That's a good lookin call. I like that you used a snow goose bone, seems to be a better size that a turkey bone; except maybe a hen bone but they seem hard to come by. It might be a little weird knowing what corn cobs were used for back in the day-ha ha. It does look sharp though. If ya like playing around with suction calls I found a source for delrin mouth pieces the other day at "Grassy Creek game calls". I ordered a few and already made a few hybrid cane yelpers.
