Professor Higgins; I have an offer to present to you. As you well know, Im just not sophisticated enough,nor skilled enough, in the use of howlers to put one to good use. But, I would love to have a premier example to adorn my "man room". I collect knives,hunting knives to be exact, most of which will never see blood, they are just fine examples of custom cutlery,that give me pride in ownership. You make me a nice howler,that I can hang in the gun room,and I;ll send you a nice knife, that you can sit on a shelf and look at....or slit hide and get bloody if you so choose:).....we got a deal?

well I got enough gumption to do it last night. here is the finished product. It will get a hand braided laynard and then it will be finished. Not as pretty as the higgins howlers but still functional. I figured this way I do not mind if it gets ran over or hurt in any way.

If that's an offer?
No, I'm sorry to say that I don't own a Rich Cronk Howler, but I would like to have one. (signed, of course)
I'm not a wealthy man but let me know when and where to send the money.
Oh yeah, with instructions. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Good hunting. LB

Leonard,
I am working on a dingo howler for a caller in Australia. While working on that one today, I was thinking about your new howler also. You mentioned that you don't care for lanyards. How about an open reed model with a reed protector that wedges on over the mouthpiece?

Leonard,
Here is a photo of what my first attempt at building a dingo howler looks like right now. It will look somewhat different once the Cronk name is highlighted in black, and a leather neck strap added.

My favorite Howler (and only one) is a cow horn howler by Rich Cronk. Great sound, and very nice to look at. I know I'm going against the grain on this site.

baja, don't be confused.
Rich and Rich have been trading reparte' for years. Always good for a chuckle.
No favorites on HM, no ads or sponsers; every one is encouraged to show their stuff.
You are not against the grain to own and use a Cronk howler. I wouldn't mind owning one, myself?
Good hunting. LB
