This past year my 15 year old son finally had an interest in learning how to make box calls. We worked all summer, starting with shop safety and learning how to run power tools on scrap wood. We made some "field grade" boxes together as he learned the ins and outs of call making. He decided to make a call to enter in Nashville and I could not be more proud of how it turned out. He made the entire call from start to finish ( with me lurking over his shoulder on every step). It is made in my hourglass design. The box is eastern red cedar with purpleheart lid,ends and base with yellowheart spacers.

I wish I would have had that skill at the age of 15.
Congrats to your son, he did a great job on that call!

Thanks for all of the kind words. I want to say that this was a LOOOONG process over the past year. He went through MANY mistakes and filled up the burn pile, all part of the process. I can't tell you how many attempts he made at making a lid and getting the radius right. When he finally did and the lid sounded good he messed it up cutting the inlay grooves ( I tried to talk him out of inlays but he wanted them) and had to start all over. I am really proud of his perserverence because their was a lot of frustration, especially with dad telling him what he was doing wrong!
Very nice!! Wishing him the best!!
God Bless
That's a really nice looking call!!
