So, back in the summer I took a fellow a couple big boards of 12/4" cherry that I had timbered from my property and subsequently air dried.  I asked, in exchange, if he could build me a box call ??  I also brought him a smaller board to have him spin me out a trumpet if it worked out.

Well, worked out it DID !!!!!

Here's what showed up.  Thank you a MILLION Mike Lapp !!!  Your friendship AND craftsmanship are both awesome !!!

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Those turned out great. Mike makes some awesome calls ...That cherry is really nice... Now you need a pot call from it also ceramic over glass in a cherry pot is turkey money ... IMO

No, sir.

It's a piece of cherry that I harvested from my property.

Yes, I saw that. The body looks dark.  Do you have any side pics?

Sweet, love the story and the calls are terrific.

Lucky you - sounds like your turkey hunting UPS guy didn't delay delivery by 10-15 days like my old UPS guy used to do.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409
