I dont know why Iv never thought of doing that until this thread here... Yeah thats a great idea! Iv had this old beaver lathe for 2 years or so... its 50+ years old and works perfectly. Found it at a yard sale
I want to make duck/goose and other game calls.
Thanks Man!

Yup... the boys here do that too with the burls. I will get a picture of the little thing Dave made.... when I think of it. Hes got a real knack for wood/turning.... and hes happy doing stuff like that. He also made something else... another container, with a neat design on it. I'll picture it was well sometime.

We have a large summer market up here near the Pinery Provincial Park which has a lot of artisans that make this kinda stuff . Also small town called Sparta south of Aylmer Ont just full of this kind of businesses . Just have to ask/ Google & get out in your area & search um out . Just be prepared to pay more then big box store stuff tho . Luck
