That's unique, never seen anything like it. How long does it take to do that? Is maple particularly good because of it's hardness+color?
If it's for sale, go ahead and list the price, if you want?
Good hunting. LB

Thank you Leonard. I've been making and carving calls for a while now. And I've found that Hard Maple because of it's density, makes a real good sounding call. And it's perfect for my carvings, and subsequent painting. It takes detail real nice.
As for being unique? I just sort of like trying to make a call that stands out from the pack. LOL!

Sorry, you asked about the time it takes to make a call like the one I posted? I usually have a couple hours wrapped up in the carving, and a couple more in the painting. Not to mention about an hour in turning and finishing the call itself. I've made some in the past that tooks a good weeks worth of effort. -Sometimes I get ambitious.

I don't limit myself to just Maple. LOL! I dabble with cow horn and antler too. I've done a lot of calls over the years. LOL! Don't want to bore you folks.

It depends on the size of the picture? Generally, I can take a photo and work it onto a call. But you have to remember, there's only so much room on a call.

Welcome to The New Huntmasters, JBinMontana. Glad to have you on board.
I don't know how long you were waiting for approval, but once I sent it, you jumped right in! Good deal, we need more folks from up that way.
Good hunting. LB
