Tiger Maple and Cocobola Trough Call

[shadetree callers]

Here is another trough call I just completed from some beautiful tiger maple from New York and some really sweet cocobola . The surface is slate and the striker is dymondwood with a flared tip . This call has all the sounds I am looking for in a turkey call and will hopefully lead to the demise of some big gobblers next spring. Thanks for looking !

That sure is some beautiful grain in both of those woods that you picked for that call.  Beautiful and I'm sure it sounds as good if not better than it looks.

I have never seen a call like that. At the risk of sounding like a total buffoon, how do you play them?
Is it the same technique for a pot call?
BTW, that is a stunning caller!

Thanks for all the kind words . Trough calls play like a potcall but are often too narrow to get the striker to break over when yelping. This trough allows you to run circles with the striker and you can get those sweet yelps that break over hard and make your ear drums flutter. They create very realistic purrs, cutts and clucks also . The unique thing about the trough is that bith ends are ooen which gives the call a stereo sound and when used in the field, the sounds really come out as natural.
