Crow call big leaf maple burl

[Rick Robbins]

Did something different with this call. turned the Barrel and sanded to 600. then i soaked a few Hours in Minwax Wood Hardner. dried it a week. then i sanded more more up to 600 and put a light CA Finish. then buffed on a Beal system. this is Big Leaf Maple Burl with some nice spalting. call turned out nice. part of several call's Going to New York.

Very nice call, Rick, and an interesting finishing schedule, too! Nice pic!;)

[Roger Bullock]

Really nice looking call Rick. Where do you get your supplies to make your calls?

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a really nice looking call. I agree with the finish schedule being interesting.

I imagine you will try finishing like that again, it came out very nice.

i actually sell call part's as part of my bussiness. thank's tried a different finish on it. playing with several walnut oil Finish's next. Mahoneys and three different Doct's Walnut oil's and Wax's. i plan on soaking barrel's this year in Boiled Linseed oil and Japan Drier. i like the old style Finishes on Duck and Goose call's. all the other custom call maker's are going for the Glass Fish . there selling more call's. i'm just trying different Finish's. thank's for the comment's.
