Title: Dad n Son, Hand in Hand, First Hunt
Post by: Ferguson on June 10, 2012, 08:26:02 PM
I'm sendind this to a man in Ohio. He took his 4 year old son turkey hunting for the first time this spring. He wanted something to hand down to him when he gets older to remember it by. He sent me a picture of them walking down a lane, hand in hand on the old family farm. This is what I came up with. It's one of my favorite themes to date.

Can't wait to get this call this week. Will be a pleasure have this call and one day hand it to my son Tucker.  Here is the picture I sent David to go off of.

Andy
I enjoyed the artwork on this call more than you can imagine. It's been a while since it was as "fun" and rewarding to create a theme or look to a call. I had began running out of ideas. Before I applied the urethane it was one of the more detailed callers I had done. The finish takes some of the shading away when it darkens up. It still will go down as one of my favorites. Reminds me when I took my boys on their first hunts. I didn't have a clue of what your barn looked like but without getting to "busy" in the background and taking away from you and Tucker. this is what I had imagined an old ohio dairy barn with an old 8n tractor under the hip roof to look like.
Again thanks for the oppurtunity to make this call.
David

Got the call today in the mail.  Words can't explain my feelings about the call.  David, you did a great job and i look forward to hunting many times with Tucker and the call you have made for us.  One day I will hand the call down to him to cherish as a memory of his first turkey hunt. Here is a couple of picture of Tucker and our call.
