Title: Bloodwood and White Oak Longbox
Post by: Cut*N*Run on April 22, 2011, 06:21:27 PM
After several failed attempts over the past few years, I was finally able to make a half decent longbox for my vest. Not that pot calls are easy, but these things are a whole different animal.

The pic hides some real flaws like the fact that I drilled the hole for the lid screw right through the bottom and had to patch it up, but the bottom line is that it's good enough to take some walks with me with this spring. Thanks for looking.

Yeah it's got a medium pitch, touch of rasp- I like it. There are better sounding calls for sure, but I'll take this one. One of the easiest playing boxes I've run. Plays loud and soft, good cutts, and it barely needs chalk at all.

There is nothing wrong with that call, especially if it works--nice work and a beautiful combo
