Here are a few recent duck call bodies I made to pair with some nice double-reed Echo call inserts. Used some nice dry wood from the scrap bin. Bored them out to 5/8" and added brass bands for stability. A few coats of Danish Oil, a few coats of Tru-oil, and a good smoothing with #0000 steel wool. They look great and sound amazing with the Echo call inserts. Really nice top end hail calls, which have always been tricky with some of the single reed calls I've made.

Honestly, I can't wait to turn some more. Next time I'll experiment with pinning the bands on and see how they turn out.
