Neal,
I just want to say again that these are some fine looking calls and you should be extremely proud of what you have accomplished. You have made something from a piece of wood with your own hands and can now use it to call a bird. I think that is something everyone who hunts turkeys dreams of doing. How it was made makes no difference as has already been pointed out. The goal was to make a call you could use, no other claims were made. We turkey hunters should celebrate the passion that moved you to do this as well as the willingness of others to share the knowledge they have accumulated with people who love turkey hunting. Anything less than that takes away from the most wonderful sport I know. Your story is an inspiration to me. Congratulations and best of luck this spring.
Mike
