Author Topic: New & Improved PREDATRs Cdog911 "There are some ideas so absurd only an intellectual could believe them."--George Orwell. Member # 7 posted April 10, 2005 02:04 PM                       hery guys, been at it again.. I've upgraded the design of my calls to the new PREDATR Pinnacle series calls. Here's a couple pics of what I'm doing with them... The top picture shows a series of bois d'arc Pinnacles that I recently finished (and one black sheep). For the most part, these are already sold. The bottom picture shows one of the bois d'arc Pinnacles alongside an as yet uncompleted Pinnacle in eastern red cedar. Both of these woods is common to this area and, if the truth were known, just as attractive or more than any of the exotics I've been turning. Two highlights about this series of calls - First, cost is $30 each with free shipping. $5 from each call will be sent to Sly Dog's Raven's Idaho Youth Hunting Program to help the kids out. Second, if you have a hunk of wood lying about that has some sort of sentimental value to you, send it to me and I'll turn you a custom Pinnacle for the same price. Maybe it's a piece of mesquite you picked up after shooting your first double. Or, maybe it's a branch from a blow over that you used as a rest for an especially memorable coyote. One of the first customs I ever turned was fashioned from a length of ironwood that was the end of Kevin Lukens' dad's walking stick. For whatever reason, you can have a call with greater personal value than what you paid for it. Drop me a line at predatrcalls@cebridge.net and I'll let you know what I need from you to make this project work. -- Lance -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

However, I have one of Lance's calls, and it has the reed stuck down in the brass shell casing side, so.....? Great idea, four of those calls would make a distinctive statement as legs on your ottoman, in the den! Good hunting. LB -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All. Don't piss me off!

Member # 7 posted April 11, 2005 11:53 AM                       Oooooooooooooooo, that hurt, Leonard. Dennis - the mouthpiece is on the left. I had several inquiries about all-wood calls because of ppls' concern about freeze ups, so I was getting ready to do some PS-1's and had a new idea. There it is. I'll still make the old style to order, buy this style has the curves to better reveal the beautiful graining in the wood, whereas my old ones didn't. The brass casing in the heel end lends a crisper better sound to my ravaged old ears. -------------------- I am only one. But still, I am one.

Great looking calls with thier own signature style. Leonard, Never could figure out why they just can't call the darn thing a foot rest.

From now on we will call them suckers "foot rests". I had a fifty-fifty chance of being right; and I blew it: get it? Good hunting. LB edit: PS, Lance. Can I send my "Diablo" in for a retrofit, to better reveal the beautiful graining? [ April 11, 2005, 03:33 PM: Message edited by: Leonard ] -------------------- EL BEE Knows It All and Done It All.

BTW; they are often referenced as foot stools... where i grew up anyway... -------------------- Carpe Diem Posts: 778 | From: Phx AZ | Registered: Oct 2003  |  IP: Logged Cdog911 "There are some ideas so absurd only an intellectual could believe them."--George Orwell. Member # 7 posted April 11, 2005 05:52 PM                       Dennis, I call 'em foot stools because I can't spell ottoman. Leonard, does cocobolo have a grain you can see? That's whay I've gone to bois d'arc and cedar. At least it has something to see. The main reason for the design change is because I got to see a Pinnacle duck call and decided that I could do the same thing with a couple subtle changes and come up with something I really like. Which I do. And which I sincerely hope do not come to be known as foot stool legs, thank you very much! BTW, not to take this thread further off track, which did you grow up calling it: sofa? couch? devan? or davenport? In my family, I heard all four.

It was the davenport.... ours didn't turn into a bed... but was good enough for one person to nap on...

You every see randy licken the underside of the reed on that red desert howler? It wasn't because it tasted like a tasty freeze cone.
