Got a friend in Virginia known as VATURKEY here on the site, the pic is of his son Lil' Rick in 2002 with a gobbler he took, which ended up being his last, as he past in 2005. The call is made from Myrtlewood Burl, also known as Medicine wood, the stand is made from a piece of driftwood Eastern Red Cedar, the strikers are named after his dog, Kool-aid it is the black - wood one, the other striker is made laminated material with eastern red cedar, from the same piece of driftwood. It is named after his shotgun, he called it his Sandwich maker....I engraved their names on each striker. I hope he enjoys it. pappy
