You guys ever try this

[Rock Crusher]

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.  

[Jon Stewart]

Great looking box.  Hope it works for you.

[JJB]

Nice!  Wouldn't it be fun to call in a turkey with a piece of art like that, good luck!

[Wiley Coyote]

Nice Job!! Another treasured part of you along with your trad bow will emerge from the hunt and may produce much bounty.

[Knawbone]

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

I wish I had your lack of craftsmanship     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.

[KentuckyTJ]

Yeah I made one once. I quickly realized woodworking wasn't my calling. Good looking box.

[Eugene Slagle]
