I was looking through a box of stuff left by my late Father, there were 8 or 9 game calls. Three were old Herter's still in the boxes and several Johnny Stewart predator calls still in the package. They must be old because there is an add for record player calls.
Anyway the Stewart calls had an extra reed and I like to play with a wood lathe, so why not make one. I have some Jatoba, where I worked we called it Brazilian cherry, its has a deep red color and is hard. I think it turned out well, sounds like the Stewart call but maybe a little richer.
Sort of funny, I made a couple of soft calls in the house. Both dogs were all over me. My terrier was jumping around on her back feet and the Maltipo did her best to take it away from me and stood on her back feet at the table where I laid it. My wife said I could use it to call the dogs but I said I didn't want them running through the door with a coyote trailing.
Does anyone here make calls ? I looked around on line and found some sites but was wondering if anyone had a favorite supplier or know the best places to find info ?
Thanks Dave
