With the shutdown here in France I've had plenty of time at the farm lately, so I decided to get a batch of calls started. We are moving to a different spot in the spring so my wood shop is going to get packed up before too long. It is great to work in my shop in the mid morning when I get this low angle light through the window. When you checker a gunstock nothing beats that type of natural light at a low angle because of the shadows you get as opposed to direct overhead light. This batch was seven, and I hope to make another 4 or 5 before I start packing. These are all chestnut and French oak calls made from 50 year old fenceposts and ancient beams from the barn. Thanks for looking. Pete

Those look great. That was my question do you sell them?

Great craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing your talent and beautiful product. I have one that was hand made and is my go to box call.

I bought one last year for a hunting buddy that collects calls, well made call and Pete was great to deal with looking to get another for me soon.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!
