A custom woodworking shop focused on handcrafting wooden game calls for turkey, elk and deer. Using maple, walnut, cedar, oak and unique hardwoods such as bloodwood and purpleheart. I handcraft box calls, cow elk calls, and a deer grunt tube and rattle bag. Not only are they pleasing to look at, but are easy, effective and fun to use. The blends of wood create an incredibly accurate and realistic sound letting you draw turkey, elk and deer close to you!
I hand make each call. There is no mass production done on any item. Since they are hand crafted, there will be small imperfections in the calls, and no two calls will sound exactly the same. That is part of the unique aspect of hand made, custom calls. If, during the final testing process, the call does not produce the sound I desire, or any of the imperfections hinder the sound, or quality, of the call, I scrap the call!
My desire is for each owner, to totally enjoy how the calls look, sound and feel! I want the call to earn battle scars on them to reflect how they were used in the field. I welcome pictures and stories of how and where they were used. Any pictures that are sent to me will be posted here so you can see yourself on the net. Please respect the animal in your pictures.
WHY WOOD?
Every type of tree has its own unique smell, taste and feel. As you spend time in the woods, or using wood, you realize they also have a unique sound. Critters get used to those smells, tastes (yes they eat the bark), feel and sound and that environment becomes their living room. Their living room is full of "woodsie" smells and sounds created from trees/wood/leaves/etc. We, as intruders, typically bring along non "woodsie" smells and sounds, such as metals, nylons, plastic, rubber, velcro, you name it, we bring it.
When I decided to make my own calls, I looked at the calls currently offered today. While some have wood as part of the call, most included these non-woodsie materials. I decided to make mine out of that original woodsie sounding material, wood!
I have chosen hardwoods walnut, maple, oak, mahagony and imported hardwoods, bloodwood and purpleheart.
Wood does not repel water very well without bark, and various types of wood waterproofing do not allow calls to create a natural, quality sound. If you hunt very long, it is not a matter of if you will, but when you will and how badly you will be wet. In order to combat this issue with inclimate weather, I have mixed a blend of poly coating to add water resistance to the calls and added a water resistant bag (I call the turkey roost) to turkey calls to add even more protection. This mix of poly coating does not hinder the quality of the look, or function, of the calls.
