Shoooeeeeee....David isn't that the call you was bringing down here to me? Now ain't that a bummer....LOL sweet work friend, you should have walked away with that award you deserved it. Super nice composition and subject including the coloring of the natural wood and the burning on the inlay...superb!

Thanks for all the kind words. It's a pleasure to be able to fall in behind the generations of local Eminence call makers. Without their encouragement and guidance I wouldn't be enjoying the reward of making callers for others to enjoy.

Thanks
David

Looks great David.  Reminds me of the call you made my son and me.  We will cherish it!

It should, it's the same theme. It's one of my favorites.

1 point separated the top 3 contestants. I had 194, Don Bald was second with 193.06 then 3rd was Don and Sara Clark 193 it was so close on the score between us. There are 5 judges and the high and low scores are dropped out. That leaves three judges. They score 20 points for eye appeal, 20 points for craftsmanship, 20 points for originality and 10 points for sound. For a total possible high score of 70 points As you can see the top three calls were extremely close. It was a crap shoot on who won. I am excited just to be able to compete with them. They have been making great callers for several years. The fourth place call even scored 179. It was a tough class and I think the theme and sound was the little edge that helped me. It's sure enough turkey and a looker.
