Well I got one made up for a test then riped into some of the GOOD WOOD and got these 3. I purchaed 3 different styles of SR inserts a Knight and Hale style a Greg Keats and an unknown. I gave the 3 calls to Travis Weber today to tune them. I DONT BLOW A SR CALL but have had people ask for them. Travis is a heck of a good caller with one and has messed with them quite a bit. In about 4 minutes he had the Keats call sounding very good I thought.

Something new to try out to keep the boredom form setting in at least. heres a couple of pics. We will see what insert he likes the best and I am going to make a few of these when I have time. Still hackin up that pc of dark maple burl that stuff is VERY HARD!

3 calls all Dark Maple figured burl and 2 hedge and 1 paduk inserts. All caped in Copper to keep them sturdy and they wont split on us.
