Title: All in a Dog's Day!
Post by: culpeper on January 11, 2014, 06:53:30 PM
This Bolivian Rosewood over Yellow Poplar sporting Zebrawood end blocks and Purpleheart accents was built for a co-worker's husband, specifically for his upcoming birthday next week.  They have 4 Labs and one, the leader of the 4 named Boulder, tips the scales at 97 lbs all muscle and as they tell me is an amazing duck/goose dog.  The wife said, put a dog on the call--okie dokie I said  ;D  ;)  This was yet another departure from the normal images I do and I really enjoyed the challenge.  In this case I decided to photograph the call before I put the finish on it, often I find that the finish masks some of the detail, so excuse the painters tape on the lid underside.  Yes, this and all my calls sound as good as they look--you'll have to trust me, or ask hunters and callmakers who own them.
