My Nephew is getting married in a few weeks. He is an avid hunter, so I decided to turn my first call in several years. It didn't turn out to bad. The picture is not the greatest. The barrel is maple burl and the stopper is cocabola I think, it was a scrap I had in the shop.

Wayne, that is a nice looking call. But, if the end piece is cocobolo and you put it to your lips, you might have an allergic reaction. Do you blow through the call? Years ago in FWW I read an article about a turner who made a recorder out of cocobolo and played it once. The next day he woke up with blisters on his lips. You may want to reconsider the call.

The end that you blow in is the burl maple.. Cocbola is the part you cup in your hands.
