6" ossage, with lignum vitae, bell and amodel, mouthpiece, and a stabilized and dyed dark purple maple, with a buffalo horn bell, and camel bone mouthpiece adjustable. I feel honored to own such a fine pair from a great callmaker.
Very nice!

That is a beautiful flock. I am in love with that maple and deer antler.
I would have to dig up the note Bob sent with it, but I am pretty sure the maple/antler is 1 of 3 made.

When you decide you have waaaay too many trumpets, I know where the ironwood can find a good home. :TooFunny: All kidding aside, great looking trumpets.

Ol Bob is a great craftsman and call maker who certainly has made a notable mark in the turkey call world. I have heard he has passed on quite a bit of knowledge to many also. A true ambassador.

Congrats on getting it! That's a beauty of a call.
Thanks to everyone that posted pictures of my calls, some I don't even remember. It's been a great 25 years, I've met and made friends with some of the greatest turkey call maker in the world, and many helped me when I was starting out. But more important, is thanks to the thousands, of turkey hunters, the best people on earth, that I would never have met if I had not gotten into this. A special thanks to Shane, you bought calls from me when I didn't have a clue what I was doing, and it kept me going until I could figure it out. Also, thanks To Shannon for this site where we can all meet. I wish I could thank everyone in person, but this will have to do. Bob
