Title: Unicoi box call pictures "please",offerings,stash,whatya got!
Post by: Happy hooker on January 12, 2017, 04:34:43 PM
I would have loved to come to the Unicoi show but quite a trek in January from Minnesota.

For those of you that were the lucky ones I would love to hear what box calls you could actually pick up off the tables and buy there,,were there many from Dawkins,Mann,Lapp,SS,Beard and the talented others.
Love to see pics of what you got or if your walking around show of the tables at show.
I'd love to suffer for not going so I'm sure to next year.

Who is the call maker with all of the Turpin style boxes? He was next to Richard Hudson's table.

Lots of people made a huge mistake not buying a box from Wendell Lancaster. He was even selling them for less than his normal cost. They were $80. Had an ebony/holly and yellow heart/poplar that were smoking!

Good to see pics of the MS callmakers Doug Morgan and Ken Martin! Both build really good sounding calls. I have a Martin aka Barefoot box in Canary over Walnut and it's a good one. I have a few pots, Turpin box, and trumpet from Doug. They're all turkey as well. I'm relatively new to Turpin-style boxes but there's just something about that sound!

I ended up with six box calls. a Darrin Dawkins , Lamar Williams , Mike Lapp , Marlin Watkins , Richard Hudson and Billy Buice. All regular size and hand picked by me. It was a awsome experience.

You bought all those box calls and won't share a picture of them, shameful!

If I hadn't already had 8 of Richard's calls, I would have bought that call you sold to Gregg. Man, that thing was a real player!! Played it myself. He got a good one there!!

Gregg came over and got me to show him how to run this style and I will have to admit that is one heck of a box call get got. Would have minded having that one back see how I can't keep a Teak/Snakewood box for very long.  8)  It was 4 years old and that Teak had aged and she sure would run if I say so myself.
