I am looking for a callmaker who would be willing to make me 2 boxcalls from Cedar that I send them....I have a bunch of downed cedar trees of all ages, from down several years to down a couple of weeks ago so I have whatever age that the callmaker will require. I will have the wood milled to whatever specs the maker wishes as I have a friend with a portable sawmill that can do that for me. The wood for the lid can be from whatever material the maker likes best as a combo to the cedar box. I would also like them with a special description on the bottom that I will provide you when it's time for that step.
I am asking because the trees are from my farm, so I thought it would be cool to have a call and possibly kill a bird on that farm with a call made from wood that came from that farm. Sounds corny I know but I think it's kinda cool....number 2 call will go to my best friend who's family I bought the farm from and grew up hunting the property and still does today.
Any takers? I will gladly pay whatever the maker thinks it's worth within reason of course :-)
Thanks in advance!!!
PS- Forgot to ad that these calls will NEVER be sold as they will be a family heirloom for the rest of their existence.
I'll do it, let me know.

This is an idea I have had for quite some time, as well. Not corny at all. AWESOMELY cool concept !!!
Please post pics when you finally get your heirloom calls
Well the responses I have gotten are awesome....Thanks guys!
Now to figure out what the next step is.
I'll keep everyone posted on the results.
Most call makers love to make calls from wood that means something to the customer. Wood from their property, hunting spot, parents place, grandfather's barn etc. IF, the wood has the grain that can work.
No checks, knots etc.
