I have had great success this spring using my own handmade cost style two sided short boxes. I am addicted to making these calls and need an outlet for them. I finished 3 this week and wanted to post pictures. I also would like to add some sound files but these calls sound really good to my ear. I would like to offer a couple to a select few for $60 to get honest feedback on the calls. 100% satisfaction guaranteed. First things first though, How do they look?

The top call is walnut with a Padauk lid and base. The middle call is mineral stained poplar with a Bubinga lid and base. The bottom call is Walnut with a Zebrawood lid and base. The calls are made to Neil cost specifications and all sound as good as the calls I used this spring to great success. I am really surprised at how good the walnut sounds with so many different paddles. I have some Alaskan yellow cedar, butternut and black limba calls started as well. I am not trying to sell any calls in large numbers but truly would like to know if ther is any interest. Thanks for looking.

Sorry about the poor backround clutter. I think it distracts from the calls and does not do them justice for how they really look.

Great looking calls! I think the character of the wood comes through more without the checkering on the lids. One small suggestion, the lid corners look a little sharp to my eye. They may look great to anther though. I might be interested in that mineral poplar.

Man, I'm no box call expert at all, but those look awesome. If they sound as good as they look, you should be in business.

I think they look good. I would be interested in the black limba or butternut if available for that price. I have a FEW box calls and could give a good unbiased opinion.

Nice work! That Zebrawood call is very nice. Let us know when you add a sound file.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

The calls are very nice! The inlays and checkering on box calls are so precise. It looks like you are a craftsman with attention to detail.

The craftsmanship is great. I agree that the corners on the lid look a bit sharp on the padauk and zebrawood paddles. The bubinga one looks about right. I also like the smooth lid to show more of the grain. Have you posted any in the classifieds? There may be a minimum post count to list classifieds, not sure.
Nice work!

Not sure how this got moved to the classifieds. Not offering anything for sale yet. I just wanted feedback on whether there was interest in them or not. Thanks for the tips. Do you think the edges are sharp all the way around the paddle or just where you would "hold" it? I rounded the back corners on the poplar lid and liked the way it looks but thats the opposite "back" end of the call.
