As a new woodturner, I've found a way to combine my passions for woodworking and turkey hunting by making friction turkey calls. My first several calls were one big experiment to get them to sound right. I've got the sound right now and am focusing on looks.
The first one is a cocobolo pot with a copper calling surface. There is a padauk soundboard inside the call as well.
The second one is a laminated pot I made with some curly bubinga and padauk. It has a glass calling surface with a padauk soundboard.
Critiques welcome. I know, I know...The pictures aren't good. :) The flash really made the holes in the cocobolo call look bad.
I started doing this just to make calls for myself and a few friends. Now I'm really thinking that I'd like to start making custom calls for people. Danged vortex!!!
