Hey guys, my name is Travis and I've been making calls for roughly 2 years, mostly just for fun, and as my stress reliever in the evenings. Never messed with selling any other than to a few local guys, but figured I'd share a few on here and possibly sell a few. (They're starting to pile up, lol). I absolutely love to turkey hunt, and have spent countless hours trying to make the best calls I possibly can, and am always trying to improve as I go along.
I've sent a bunch of calls out to folks for critique and feedback and everything has been extremely positive so far.
I'll be out of town for a few days on vacation, but I'll put some of these calls for sale in the classifieds when I get back next week. Prices will be $35-$45 shipped and come with a 2pc dymondwood. I'm hoping to offer a great sounding call that most anyone can afford, and I don't have any dreams of getting rich or making it big. I just want to be able to move a few to be able to afford to keep making them and buying materials.
Thanks for checking them out and thanks to this great site. I'm also on Facebook - Sweetbriar Custom Calls
Here's a few slates for now, will be adding more as I get around to taking pictures

The fit and finish on those calls look awesome, I have heard soundfiles of his calls (not the ones in the pictures but other similar calls he made) and they sounded great also.
Great work!
I am always thankful to see "new" guys getting into call making... The "new" guys that have stepped up here on OG recently are putting out some good stuff, and Travis @ Sweatbriar is no different.
His calls are meticulously crafted - and I think he's achieved a great sound. I know of a couple of "prototypes" that won't be making their way home to Virginia... they're going to be riding my vest! ;D
More great call makers making more great calls - that's a good thing.
Here is a quick clip of a green anodized aluminum in a cherry pot:

Those look nice and that green anodized sounds really good Steelerfan. What kind of striker were you using? Thanks
Nice looking calls Travis :turkey2:
