These are some calls that I have made in the past. 

strikers-L-optimized.gif (36031 bytes)
This is a picture of some of the one piece strikers that I turn.  The most common are Purpleheart, Zebrawood and the Dymondwood. My GS-1 combination of Curly maple pot, crystal calling surface and Purpleheart soundboard.  One of the best sounding calls I've ever heard.

This is a Bubinga pot with purpleheart soundboard and glass calling surface.  On the surface I engraved a gobbler head.

One of my first laminated pots, this one consisted of Shedua with maple and purpleheart.  Copper calling surface and all turkey. Zebrawood Glass over Purpleheart call.  This is a medium-high pitch call with some great rasp when using the Zebrawood striker. Claro Walnut slate call matched with a Canarywood striker.  A great sounding wood choice for the slate surface.

Purpleheart has become on of the most popular woods for me.  It makes a very good call using any surface. The first laminated call I every made.  Shedua with Paduak and maple.  It was a 3 1/4" surface and screamed turkey. This Ebony call was one of a set of three calls turned for a customer.  I hand engraved three gobblers making their way across the glass.

RANDOM CUSTOM CALLS

walnut-3-tracks-front.jpg (9518 bytes)
Birdseye Maple Copper call with a Shedua striker. Turned out very well and the Birdseye makes a great sounding call. Although most of my hunting calls are completely conditioned, I only did a portion of this glass.  I then etched three tracks across the surface. This Curly Maple glass call featured a walnut/maple inlay around the pot.  The tracks on the back were inlayed in walnut and the striker was also Curly Maple/walnut.
Curly Koa1.jpg (42290 bytes) mapleburl2.jpg (14732 bytes) burl-inlace-tracks.jpg (9761 bytes)
This call was turned from a piece of Curly Koa that I hand selected while in Hawaii.  This could be the prettiest call I have ever turned.. The side view of the burl call shows how each call turned is unique.   The calls turned from burl also sound very good. This Burl Maple call was a single-sided glass over slate.  On the back of the call I placed inlace into the turkey tracks.
This call was turned from a Ebony.  The 3" copper surface and the striker design that I use on it, makes this the raspiest call I have made. This call is Zebrawood glass over glass with a Zebrawood striker.  This combination has just the right amount of rasp for those old gobblers. This Curly Maple was cut and sawed in southern Indiana.  With a glass surface and Purpleheart soundboard, it is hard to beat.
osage top.jpg (24215 bytes) Cocobolo black top.jpg (17828 bytes)
This is one of my aluminum calls using the green aluminum and Osage Orange.  The aluminum has a clear note and plenty of volume. This is an aluminum call that I turned out of Cocobolo and used the black aluminum.  It has the same sound as the other aluminum calls that I turn. Copper is quickly become one of my favorite surfaces.  When matched with the correct striker, I believe it makes the most realistic raspy calls of an ol' boss hen.

This call was turned as a gift.  It is one of the few calls that I have made that is not functional.  This call had a feather etched on the soundboard by hand This shows the back of the call.  The Redwood Burl that I used for this pot is very beautiful.  Although this call was not conditioned, the wood makes a great sound. These three spalted maple calls show the variety of spalt that is available when purchasing a call.  No two spalted maple calls will look the same.

Bocote back.jpg (40017 bytes) Koa back not curly.jpg (35182 bytes)
These are two slate calls that I turned from cherry.   Both calls have inlay around the outside of the pot.  The inlay is a great accent and works well with most woods. This is a single-sided black aluminum call turned from Bocote.  I really like the sound of the aluminum when matched with a Bloodwood striker. This pot was turned from a piece of Koa that I brought back from Hawaii with me.  This wood is very limited and makes a great sounding call.
Bocote locators.jpg (26794 bytes) new new locators.jpg (26481 bytes)
This set of locator calls was turned from Bocote.   A beautiful wood with great tonal qualities. This is a slightly different style of locators with a little more detail.  This set was turned from Bubinga. This is a crow call that I just finished up.  On this call, I used a brass band and a zebrawood blank.
