pic of my homemad custom double glass call
Gang,
I have been wanting to try making my own calls for novelty and after some experimentation, they have come out quite nice. This particluar call is a double glass call. As my 3 yr old daughter says... they sound " sweet" . let' s hope the NY birds feel the same.

Nice call, did you make the pot yourself or did you buy a premade pot? What kind of wood is it? Looks to me like you had some stickers made to place underneath, am I correct. Sweet call, Hop it works for you on your opener. I didn' t get a chance to you my handmade strikers, for one it was raining all morning during the PA opener saturday and I managed to get my bird at 6:30am with a mouth call. Didn' t even get to use them to call my buddies bird in. But we are going to take his stepson out this weekend and I am going to call while he video tapes his stepson. So I hope to get to try them on saturday.

Nice job bhw, I' m impressed!
I would love to try and do something like that, but where would a man start?
Where do get get the right kind of wood, glass etc.
I' m not real graceful with things like that but I' m sure I could tear some stuff up and have fun doing it.

the sticker under the glass is from a local graphics shop. the vinyl is " premium" which is said not to alter sound much. I tried a few more tonite and think that the slate under glass gives a smoother tone while my double glass seems more raspy. I also have some 3" plastic pots that sound awesome right off the bat. This is fun!

That' s nice, BHW! I made a double glass in a walnut pot awhile back, it sounds pretty decent to me. I didn' t even take it out hunting with me because I had enough other new calls to try, that I didn' t want to pack it along. I' ll use it someday. It sure was enjoyable putting it all together. It gave me a better appreciation of call building and now I know how they are built. It would make a nice hobby.
