I'm gearing up for 2015 push pin production , if you can call it that - I'm so busy I hardly have time for anything these days - I think I'll be able to make 10 calls this year , these take a whole day to make 1 call so I have to charge accordingly , the musical grade hardwoods are not getting any cheaper -- for those of you who are interested shoot me a pm with your contact information, my lid calls go for $150 plus shipping -- I make calls on a first come first served basis - My hunting season starts in 3 weeks and I drop everything to partake in that activity , after I limit out I resume call production so I'm sorry for the wait
I also make macassar ebony , Black and White ebony , and Gabon (black ) Ebony - when things slow down I'll resume with Cocobolo
Below pictured is 2 Mun Ebony calls for 2 very patient turkey hunters ( sorry for the delay ) I have just enough Mun Ebony to make a handful more and that might be all that's available for s long time or forever because it's getting very hard to locate quality Ebonies is large enough sizes , I have a inventory of macassar ,b&w , and Gabon to last me a few years , but availability will dictate what I will be collecting for these in the future
I'll provide a video of these soon - I have several more sound clips of my calls in the sound file area and my calls do all talking for me , I have been hunting with push pin calls for 31 years , what you see is a culmination of that experience and knowledge plus several exclusive inovations like my 2 ply hand layed soundboard ,Titanium striker surface ,and my striker design --enterpreted into a few calls I make for myself for hunting plus a few more for friends and public sale -- what you see is what I hunt with , so to speak I eat my own cooking in call making lingo
Mun Ebony comes from the jungles of South east Asia , where fallen trees that have layed on the Forrest floor for very long periods of time are pulled out - ebony makes excellent push pin bases because it is very dense and doesn't soak up sound vibrations , guess those violin and guitar makers know a thing or two about sound and tone ,lol anyways just cause it sounds good doesn't mean it can't look good ...
Thank you for looking -- Shannon Kelly
