So turkey season is just about here where I live and I've been wanting a turkey box call for a long time I just didn't want to pay for a good. I have some nice wood stored away and I decided to try and make one myself. I don't have a table saw to saw thin strips for the sides and I had a 1 1/2" square block I decided to try and make one out of a solid piece of wood. I drilled a bunch of holes in the center and then cleaned it out with a wood chisel. Then I took it of to my bench sander and sanded the curves I needed and believe it or not it works and sounds like a turkey to boot. It's a piece of birds eye maple stained harvest gold. I though I would share it with you guys. The craftsmen ship isn't the greatest but it works.

"Birds eye maple" sounds like it should be a good wood to make a turkey box call. :)
Great looking box. Hope it works for you.
Nice! Wouldn't it be fun to call in a turkey with a piece of art like that, good luck!
Looks great!! Give it a try I bet it works just fine!! :thumbsup:
Good luck and have fun.
That's neat.....and if it works even better....well done :thumbsup: !!
Nice Job!! Another treasured part of you along with your trad bow will emerge from the hunt and may produce much bounty.
Thats the kind of thing that makes a hunt special.Call em in with your own equipment-thats special. I think the craftsmanship looks fine, thats A nice looking box call. Best of hunting to you.
Very nice. It would be really neat if you knew an artist to paint a turkey on the lid kind of like Glynn Scobey goose calls.
That belongs on the fireplace mantle .. not outside where it can get scratched
That looks very good! Nice work.

I wish I had your lack of craftsmanship :jumper: That is a beautiful call. Now go call in a big gobbler with it. Good luck.
Thanks for the comments guys. It's really not as complicated to build as it looks.
Yeah I made one once. I quickly realized woodworking wasn't my calling. Good looking box.
I'm with KentuckyTJ, I ain't no wood worker by a long shot but yours looks great..
That is cool!!!Who makes that stain?
Bill
Hope it works as good as it looks. Great job!
Nice,now call one in with it.
Very nice, one of the most unique calls I've seen.
It doesn't matter what it looks like as long as it gets the job done. But this one looks really good to me. Nice work!
I can't wait to try it our when I get a chance. Bill the stain is 3Rivers alcohol based shaft stain. I did some arrows with it and I really like the color.
Thanks for the info.You have given me a great idea. :thumbsup: Well,maybe its great,time will tell.
Bill
I want to see the idea when your ready to show it. I'm sure it will be great.

Nice call! Reminds me of an ole Davey Brackens call I have that belonged to my dad. It's one call I'd never part with.
