Very nice looking calls guys ... glad they sound great too !

Long box all the way for me.  Not a big fan of tube calls... just my own thing there.  Scratch box is nice but not real versatile.  A long box has saved the day for me on many occasions.  Their volume and pitch make birds gobble sometimes when nothing else does.

Wacenturion, That is a darn fine looking call you got there, is that spalted Maple? what surface is on it? I like Tim's calls and he is a good guy to talk with. Thanks for sharin that.

Desert Ironwood burl, crystal over glass.  That box call you got is beautiful....Tim does nice work.  Those kind of calls just get better with age.  Bet you can't wait to hit the woods with it.  Good luck.

The Lynch World Champion was the first call I bought back about the late 70's.

Glass is my favorite and works the best for me, but sometimes the birds like my diaphram better. On a rainy day, the slate is better than the glass though, so I leave the glass home if it looks rainy.

That is a nice looking call you have Wacenturion...

Bearpaw...........I bought my first turkey call in Charleston, South Carolina in 1966.  It too was a Lynch World Champion.  Still use it, and it's remained pretty mint over time...just aged to perfection.  I have also added a few of them to the collection over the years.  As you probably know those early Lynch's with the Birmingham, Alabama address on them are worth a whole lot more than what we paid for them.

Probably my favorite call and most realistic sounding is a custom glass over slate from a gentleman in Tennessee, who unfortunately doesn't make them anymore.  It's like having a pet hen with me.

In case you didn't know about the value of the early Lynch's, I just don't want you to get taken in by some fast talking turkey hunter who might try to take advantage of you while guiding him to a gobbler...lol

I sent Tim a note asked him about that wood, he said that wood is one of a kind but he has some left that would make a good call not as striking as the one you have. I think I am going to have him make me one

Good for you..........I'm sure you'll love and it will be beautiful.  Like I said that was a call he made for himself from a unique piece of wood he saved.  You might want to consider a copper call from him down the road.  Got one last year....and although my hunting was limited due to a medical problem, it's magical in the way it sounds in the woods.  Did have a gobbler responding, but with a honey and I wasn't able to relocate on him like I would have.  His honey liked it too.

Here's a slate over glass I also picked up from Tim.  Had a couple others I got for my son and Yelp, but can' find the photos.  This one is Ambrosia Maple.

Awesome looking custom calls guys.  These are something to leave behind when our last turkey call is made..........................

Thanks for sharing.  My favorite calls are a box call for locating birds and a Backwoods Purpleheart Glass over Slate that seems to help seal the deal when I am calling for someone else. 

I'm still struggling with making various realistic calls from my mouth diaphrams!
