I built any long boxes and that ended this spring. I was down in PA hunting Memorial Day weekend with my good friend Ed Terefencko and we always end up with a day in the shop because PA doesn't allow Sunday hunting. I had started this box last year after getting home from Ed's place but never took it any farther till this year. I brought everything I needed to finish this call with an extra cedar blank just in case and with Ed's guidance my cedar/ purple heart was done. SOOO I thought why stop now. I hollowed out the other cedar blank and again with Ed's guidance made an osage lid for the call thinking maybe if it sounds good I would give it to my daughters boyfriend ( Ed and I helped Shawn get his first turkey this year on Ed's last day in NY ) as he was looking to get a Lyman turkey call. First off I would like to thank Ed for his help as it's been 9 tears since I built my last long box. I'm real happy with both calls and we did hunt the cedar/ purple heart on Memorial Day with only a hen showing up and no gobbles in the rain. Fun none the less and always a hunt I look forward too.

Very Nice. With you and Ed working together, there are some dead birds in these two calls future.
Thanx for the kind words and to Ed T. for helping an old dog relearn making long box calls. Still have a ways to go and I'm sure a few text messages or phone calls with questions but I know that I couldn't have a better teacher.
Those are some fine looking boxes Bill!! Well done !
