Title: Might as well kill them with something beautiful
Post by: ChesterCopperpot on June 26, 2021, 09:43:26 AM
How about a picture thread of some of your prettiest calls. I'll start with this pair from Greg Gwaltney. Snakewood and ringed gidgee.

Yeah, I've got a stabilized corn cob trumpet from Ralph Permar that's pretty dang slick. Really wish I could still get calls from him regularly—always on the list, but it's a long wait now that his list is blown out. He's my favorite callmaker alive.

The calls I'm most jealous of in this thread are your snakewood pushpin and then the hex and 1917 Permars. I'd damn near kill somebody for one of the original numbered hexes or original numbered Roanokes.
