Just finished up this Glass over a Grizzly Chewing Tobacco Lid in a African Mahogany-Walnut Pot. I thought the lid was pretty cool because I could scratch out the word Cut and scratch in BEARD (Extra Long Beard = Turkey) and then Smokeless tobacco changed to Turkey Hunting. Since it is my 1st one (using the tin lid) I guessed at the distance between the lid and glass, but will make adjustments on the next ones. I'll update with either a sound file (if it sounds good) or with my notes on how it sounds (if it sounds like crap).
Before conditioning the glass I have to finish up a couple of 3" copper in Spalted Magnolia and a Walnut bowl.
That's pretty cool - nice job!

I agree..... hope it sounds good.
UGLY Sounding - Well maybe not so bad when played at a distance. Posted youtube link below. Give it a listen and give me your opinion. First call with a snuff lid soundboard. The lid set the size if the call, so.....
Neat idea, looks good.

Just not enough rasp for me.... ;D
I do like the idea of alternative soundboard material but consistency comes into play. Either way they look nice. Keep playing with em.

Let me know what you think. I need to condition the surface a little better.
Its not actually a bad sound. It might not be what you are going for, as far as sound goes. Hows the volume?
Who knows with turkeys. That might be just the sound they want to hear!!!
Nice!

Tell me about it. At one time I was collecting calls and some really old Lynch Boxes, a couple of odd scratch boxes, and long box calls. I was moving often due to work so I sold them (way under value because I was poor). I wish I had not. I can say this, this lid call is growing on me for some reason. When I play it outside and work with the pressure I apply and where I hold it, it really changes the sound, even more so than any of my other calls. I just finished these two (2) calls and they sound awesome.
I made a couple 3in calls using the lids last year. Just playing around. This one is glass. The other one I made in slate. Both sound good. Differant, but good. Sold the slate to a guy, who used it to kill several birds. He loved it. Said the birds did too. This one was made from Ash.

That is awesome. Agreat looking call.
As an update. I made another lid call and paired it with a striker I had made early on. After a few strikers I found one for each of the calls that really sounded good. I took the calls to a local Hunter's Appreciation craft fair and sold both right out of the gate.
