More fun turning on the lathe
Another duck call. American Walnut with a copper band. Single reed, sleeved Brazilian Rosewood toneboard. Sounds pretty ducky too!
Dipped nitro lacquer, about 6 coats, sanded back and hand rubbed out with auto polish. If you are a hunter..........it is for sale!!!!!

Re: More fun turning on the lathe
Here are a couple more recent calls. I'm getting the hang of it and they sound pretty good and consistent now.

Re: More fun turning on the lathe
1" water pipe Ed. Works great and inexpensive. Its kind of my signature, not many calls have copper bands on them.
