Yeehaw, look what a little Beer will make me do!

Master of Disaster is what I will name these crazy calls.

and for the GRAND sum of $18.00 (ouch) you too can have a disaster special.

Bloodwood, African Blackwood with Sap section.., and the ever present Deer Antler Dust inlay...the upper (straight) inlay has some colored glass bits in it.

Looking good TT. nice color's. i'm embarresed i turned some plain cocabola, Paudack and a blackwood call not as pretty as them.. Rick
 
Go drink some more beer, once you drank as much as you did for those, drink two more, turn calls and then post.

There you go, you got your marchen' orders, drink away soldier /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

T toes on your inlays you said they are deer antler dust. do you grind up the antlers and mix them with glue to do the inlays.i don't make calls but i was just wondering how you did that.
 
better water your yard while you got the access, water is something that I get really tired of messen' with after a while, I'll leave it for you to use /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

so did you stuff the pizza and bread sticks in the beer can and then put it in the oven? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Very nice TT... I need to bring some beer over and watch the mad scientist at work. Ain't been out much due to massive overtime that just went to 35-40hrs, Ouch!!!
 
I don't drink much anymore but I'm thinking of getting back into it. Wonder what I'd wake up to after a 15 pack of pilsner, probably coyote ugly and not Mrs. coyote.
 
Antler inlay:

I "make" the antler dust two ways...by collecting it as I make an antler call, and by dremel grinding the unusable parts of an Antler.

a fine to medium fine powder consistency works best, at least for me.

1. make a flat bottomed groove in the call
2. apply some quality ($10 bottle) Thick CA glue in the groove, about 3/8 "long".
3. Pack in some antler dust. push it in "tight".
4. add more Antler dust, pack down and have it above the wood surface.
5. add a drop of Quality THIN CA glue.

6. Repeat for the next 3/8" "long' section of the groove.

then apply liberal amount of CA remover on Fingertips!!

wait 30 minutes. hit it with a spritz of CA instant hardner, "for just in case".

Sharpen Skew. Turn. Sharpen Skew. Turn... reapet until flush and oh so pretty /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif


I need to tell you guys, I don't _really_ consume (much) Beer while running the Lathe. BAD things happen if you do. that!

PS how do you know if your CA is not good enough ? well, just see what happens when you start burnishing and polishing the inlay.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
"bye-bye" pretty inlay, hello "UGLY"
 
Thanks, your call are awesome looking some day I might give it a shot. I have a complete wood shop in my garage I use to do alot of wood working.But I work so much I can never find the time no more.

I used to do a lot of woodworking also. After a number of years at it, I just got tired of how a small mistake could ruin an expensive project! Had items in a consignment shop, never sold a single item! People would low ball you, as if you were criminal to make minimum wage at the work. Sure did make a heck of a lot of christmas presents.
