I made a twin of one I made a few months ago as a matching set.

My wife also surprised me by making room for my lighting. Not sure how long I will have my spot but you will be seeing some new images for the time being anyway !:D

Does this mean it is made of cocobolo or it only calls cocobolo ducks? Anyway, an absolutely stunning piece of work!

That is one beautiful call there, I love the way colobolo looks when it is finished, one of my favorite woods to work with.

Were you able to do the CA on the inside too or doesn't it matter much with these?

Yes, but it is only just over an inch that gets done. The aluminum gutsert is glued in from the insert end so there isnt a ton of wood to have to deal with

Now that's what I call a high gloss! I just hope the reflections don't scare away the ducks!

David, as a hunter I will never understand the concept of high gloss, shiney bands etc on calls. I know everything I own hunting related is camo haha! I am on the water hours before first light to set up and make sure everything is camo'd to the hilt. Then my buddy shows up with day glo flouresant calls all over his neck LOL!
