Today's duck call

[armyturner]

I turned this one this morning. I sent the other call that I posted to my brother and one of his co-workers then wanted a call. He wanted a bourbon acrylic body with a clear stopper. I had copper acrylic, so he said he would take it.

Very nice, where do you buy your acrylics and such for your calls?

 

[spitfire]

Very nice I was also curious where you buy your stoppers, inserts etc from?

 

[R2]

Like that one![^]

 

[jwoodwright]

Nice call.

 

[armyturner]

I pour some of my own blanks from amumilite. The acrylic comes from Delvies plastics. I get the stopers/inserts from Echo calls.

That sure looks like a fine color of bourbon to me...nice work.

Nice work Jeremy. How do you get the inside of the drilled holes so smooth?

 

[DWK5150]

Nice call did you flame polish it??

 

[Tanner]

Dang, that looks cool!!!! I don't know what else to say, except freeking awesome!!!!

Gary,
The best way that I have found to drill them is to use cooking spray for a lubricant. Drill a little, spray the hole, drill a little, spray the hole. It is still not perfectly smooth and requires sanding, but it is much better than drilling it dry.

Don,
I don't have a torch yet for flame polishing. It is on the wish list though.

 

[CaptG]

Thanks for the tip Jeremy, I will try it.

 

[Aderhammer]

Jeremy, one last question, what type of drill bit do you use? I tried an auger bit and it just burned my wood and left a terrible hole!

Andrew,

I use regular "Jobber" style bits.
