Those are some really nice calls. What material did you use on them?

Those are fantastic. Where do you buy the "guts" or do you make your own?

Those sure have the WoW factor. I love the silver rings, they do a great job of accent your calls and the form on these are great.

Rex, very well done!! Unique features with the multiple colors and aluminum - love the last one, really classy looking. The ducks probably don't care, but the hunters sure do!!

How do you avoid getting bubbles in the acrylic when you drill it? I have a friend that is experimenting with acrylic and drilling it takes way more time than turning it.

Great looking calls. The Red and White acrylic would be my favorite.

John are you referring to blowouts? I learned when turning pens with polyester resins that you drill a little at a time while dripping in some water periodically to keep heat to a minimum and then you don't drill all the way through. You stop short then cut off the end to expose the hole. Least thats what I do.

Where do you buy blanks, such as these?
