The wood is persimmon dyed with a green dye. 

Cannonball, would you mind sharing the reason for the green color?  I was touched by it myself.

I wanted the call green because it's my son's favorite color. He insists on wearing something green almost every day. That's his name (Tyler) that I had Wendell put on the back of the call. Tyler has autism, and will probally never be able to go hunting with me. I wanted something to always remind me of him while I was away turkey hunting. Wendell did a beautiful job on making this a very special call for me and my son. Thanks again Wendell.

Great looking call and very touching reason for the green.  I'm sure many turkeys will meet their maker with that call.

I bought two honey pot calls from Wendell back in July (Quarter-sawn White Oak slate call and Bubinga aluminum call).

They are both beautiful but not as fancy as yours and without the personal coloring.

I love them both and enjoy the different sounds they produce.

Turkey season opened last Sat and I got my first bird with them Sunday. 

When the birds hung up on the slate call, I switched to aluminum and they came running in.

Enjoy and thanks for sharing . . .

That is a very touching story cannonball. I was startin to tear up as i am sure most everyone else who read it was too. I know you are going to love the sound that comes out of the call as well. I just took my second victim saturday with my Lights Out. Wendell is really a top notch guy.
