nice looking call

[youngdon]

That is a gorgeous call John, what is a c/a finish ? Did you have to stabilize that blue ash ? Beautiful !! Nice work!

[treedog]

c\a is a type of glue, It is super glue on steroids. I kinda stablized it. I use min-wax wood hardener. I put the wood in it tell it quits bubbling air out of it. I then put it the shelf and let it dry for a couple months. Then I attempt to make a call out of it. With the two together it is hard as a rock. I hope this answered your question, and if you have any more give me a holler.

Thanks
John

I have a real hard time coming to this site without taking a look at this call again, it is absolutely b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l. I have always wondered what exactly was used to stabilize burls and such. Do you work with cow and buffalo horn and antler also ?

[battman1]

And yet another nice one.Very good lookin call.

[treedog]

I do some work with buffalo, I don't hardly work with cow, But I do use all the antler I can get. For the most part I use just about whatever I can get my hands on. I've built them out of wart hog tusk deer antler, lions leg bones, corn cobs, witch is a pain in the ars. Just about what ever I decide to use at the time.

That is a beauty--How much is the going price for one like that---Maybe Santa would bring me one like that. Real nice work-I appricate it.

[youngdon]

Corn cob ? I bet that looks cool. I'll have to see if I can gather up some mesquite for you, and maybe some Ironwood if I run into one.

[hassell]

Very very nice, and innovative, corn cob-- interesting--what could I find out in the garden that a call could be made out of. Again nice work..

[treedog]

Corn cob tone board.
Swapbuck I could build you a call like that for $50.00. But if'n you what by christmas I need to know soonso I can find the wood and get to work on it.
Youngdon never used either of them woods, I have been wanting to get my hands on some ironwood thow. Get with me if come across some

Thanks
John

[youngdon]

Nice buy SB those are fine looking calls, If they sound half as good as they look(and I'm sure they do) you'll need back-up.

[Chris Miller]

Loving it... how can I get one?

[treedog]

Chris if you want a call pm me with what you are looking for, and I will try to make a call that you want.
