What an experience! I had the chance to spend a little time with Ralph at his shop this past week. Wood chips out, turkey feathers in!   :gobble:

I got to see and play the long box and mini boat orders that Ralph is filling and they are incredible, with awesome ranges from kee-kee to the gobble.

I also got to play Snuffy's personal collection of calls from all the callmakers you see and read about on the forum - and they were some of the best of the best.

Here's a long box Ralph just finished - it's maple with inlays over one of the most beautiful pieces of sycamore. It is awesome!



A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

pretty piece of sycamore and a real nice looking box, he is particular in his work and it shows in the sound and looks.

having a visit with Ralph is a fun experience and educational

Ralph is one of the best long box makers out there in my opinion. He is also a class act man. Proud to call him my friend.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

I have two of them myself, these minis are deadly in the woods.

This is my most recent mini: ebony with holly inlays over reclaimed chestnut.
