GWSmith Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 It's my first attempt. It's a Scratch Box Turkey Call I'm just now finishing up. It's made out of Maple which I figured was appropriate for the area here. Before I started to protect her with the poly she sounded sweet! I'll re-tune her when that process is complete. She sounded clear at the start and raspy through the middle and end. I'm still suprised at how loud she is. When it comes time around here I'll initiate her and see if she can hunt;) Be kind...She's still drying...and she's only half dressed:o:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I've never seen a call like that Gary. Can't wait to see it finished. Maybe when you're done, I can give you a call and you can play a tune for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's done I may just make a little video of it in action;) Everything you always wanted to know about Scratch Box Calls and had no idea why:D Theres some nice pictures of other calls on this link: http://www.midwestturkeycall.com/BoxCallTips.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinger Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Turkey Season Coming Soon Nice call. I have about a little ove two weeks til season. What about you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I think it looks good Gary. I have a pretty old(at least 35 years old) Rhodes turkey call that is similar in design. Supposedly belonged to my grandfather and I acquired it from my aunt a few years back. I kind of considered taking it hunting, but just don't know.

redkneck Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Looks great, Gary. I had one of those years and years ago. It sounded pretty good, best i can remember, and i have no idea where it ever got off to. I want to see you play it! hehe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Thanks...Appreciate the replys! I learned one thing for sure...I like the way that hand sanding makes them look but it takes just shy of...forever! I'm not going to tell you how many hours are in that thing:o I'll keep making them one at a time so each one is slightly different. A good friend of mine told me to hang on to the first one but the next ones will be availible for sale. I've got one order already...he's not in a hurry so his will be just as good as the first if not better;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
