When nature calls

Here a few recent ones I completed.  I make folk art style calls using natural materials and found objects.  I make them one at a time and make sure that they have the ability to fool a gobbler.  Thank you for looking.

Those are some nice looking calls! It's nice to see something a little different from time to time.

I like em.  What are the surfaces?

Thank you guys for the kind responses. I have made quite a few and actually used them to call in gobblers although I guess they are more folk art than anything.  I do however make sure they sound like a hen regardless.  That is the goal and that is key.  Mike I will gladly take care of you and Al and Vaughn thank you for the compliments.  Steve the surface on some is Brazilian agate which is a pain to condition.  I also use scallop and various shell material.  Whatever works. As a collector I have had some inspiration from Kevin Raybould, Charlie Trotter, and a few others who do similar styles.  Lonnie Mabry is a good friend and "neighbor" and has been very kind and helpful and taught me a ton. Thank you guys again!

Fine looking calls and I know they can call birds as I have had the chance to run some of Kevin's in the past. Really like the strikers with the shell casing.

Thank you callmakerman and mgm.  I'm honored by the compliments I have received.  I need to learn SoundCloud so I can play some sound files to prove they DO work.
