Deer Grunt Flute

[Marvin Hasenak]

This is my flute version of my deer grunt call. This one is made of red cedar from Missouri and is approximately 8 1/2" long, the first photo shows the call put together. The finish is my poly blend and a final wax coat.

The second photo shows the exhaust barrel and the mandrel that I made to turn them. The mandrel is 3/8" at the top end and then then increase to 1/2" and then 5/8" and then drops to 1/2" to fit in a collet chuck. The barrel is drilled part way first with a 5/8" bit and then finished with a 1/2" bit. This mandrel works on the pin lock system, where the small pin rolls on the flat spot on the mandrel and locks the wood blank in place.

Thanks for looking.

If I ever get around to figuring out how ya turn a grunt on the mandrels I'm gonna get one from you Marvin. Your set up looks pretty neat!

And, by the way, great looking call! :)

Marvin,

I've never seen someone turn a deer grunt before. Very, very clever, and nicely done.
