Looks awesome, how is the sound on that beauty?
I've had the parts for a while to make a squirrel call and finally got around to it. I got brave and decided to try the CA glue (superglue) finish option I have seen on YouTube. I figured if I'm going to cock something up, I'd rather it be something easy like this. Good thing, because I did. My CA attempt left some milky spots over the middle of the barrel and also built up in the decorative burn rings I like on my calls.
So, I sanded it all back down and started over with what I know works for me. I used a little Danish oil on the cherry body, then finished with lacquer. The dark band across the middle is a burn band done with a butane torch. I just wanted to break up the more pale colored wood a bit.
Searching online, it looks like my oil finish could be what caused the CA to go milky. Any moisture or oils under it can apparently cause the milky color. Either way, I didn't like how it built up in my burn rings and the fumes from the CA were pretty rough. Not sure I will try it again.
Please don't sell these to the general public. I can hear someone now hyperventilating into that call like it was a paper bag on opening day. LOL
My dumb thought aside, I think it's a pretty good idea. Beats carrying multiple calls!
have you ever made any of your grunt calls out of osage? can't be much harder to turn than Purple Heart.
you interested in making one from osage for me?
