My 15 year old started showing some interest in building turkey calls so I encouraged him to give it a try. We started with a scratch box made from cedar and black walnut. I explained to him the importance of safety and how to use the equipment then supervised him during the cutting and shaping the call. I thought he did a really great job and the call turned out great. Sounds really good too. Hopefully he can call one in with it next month.
Now instead of just hanging out with dad in the shop, maybe I will have a partner in call making. (If he can leave the girls alone for a little bit :-*)
Thats a very good looking call! I hope it brings you both luck on the 24th!
Now that is a beautiful little scratch box, he hit that one out of the park for his first one !! Wow!!
He did a great job!

This is great, its really nice to see the older generation teaching the younger (me) how to get started making calls and showing the ropes. Karma to you sir.

I appreciate it guys. I'll pass on all the post you made to him for a little encouragement.
That looks great
He had a great teacher. The call looks great, hopefully he can get a bird on it this year.
Great job on his first call, and it's awesome he's interested in starting call making
Great to hear you may have company in the shop--nice call for sure, looks like he listens well.
Awesome looking scratch box, look forward to seeing it next to a Big Gobbler this spring!!!
