Here is a longbox I was fortunate enough to have Kelly Puckett to add her touch with woodburning on....
Its a butternut and Cherry box call without any inlays so she had all the room to work with she can. Kelly and I discussed we have to have Marlins two Byrne turkey dogs(KeeKee and Cutter) busting birds as that is his passion. We decided on incorporating his Limbhanger Lodge sign where he puts us up when we are fortunate enough to get the invite there.
There are a lot of great friends I have been fortunate enough to meet in this sport, and Marlin is one that ranks right at the top to me. I will always owe Marlin a lot of gratitude for his interest and guidance in my call making. Thank you Marlin, and I hope you enjoy the tribute to your two great hunting buddies.
And a special thanks to Kelly Puckett for making this happen for Marlin......

That's a true beauty Jeff!! The two of you have created an awesome gift. I'm sure you surprised Marlin. Great job both of you!!!!
I held the box at the Dillard House. Pics don't really do it justice. Kelly does amazing work. Glad she is right down the road from me.
Beautiful Jeff
I'm sure the box sounds great, but that wood burning is out of this world! What a gift to be blessed with that kind of talent.
Great work!
Don't leave that thing laying on the ground in the woods, some deer may eat that acorn on it. Fantastic woodburning. :icon_thumright:
