Numbered Series

Henry Davis Series - Pocket - $200 each plus shipping and handling

Note the Holly box and Ebony lids and bottoms. Calls have double-checkering on the box sides and tops. The Holly boxes are inlaid with Ebony, and the Ebony lids are inlaid with Holly. The sound produced from each is superb. Experienced turkey hunters can achieve old hen, young hen, jake, and gobbler sounds simply by running the call with lighter or heavier pressure, holding the top loosely or tightly, or running the box open or closed. The box produces perfect yelps throughout the stroke of the top. This may be my most versatile turkey call yet. All calls will be numbered, dated, and signed.

This view shows the detail on the lids.

In honor of Henry Davis, author of The American Wild Turkey, I have developed the Henry Davis Series of calls. In his book, Davis claimed that Holly and Ebony were the best woods to use to make the short-box turkey call. He claimed that this combination produced the best, most realistic turkey sounds. After making a call from this combination and using it in the woods, I agree with him. This beautiful call is in honor of Henry Davis.

Seductive Pair Series - $450.00 plus shipping and handling

The Seductive Pair series includes a gobbler call facing a hen call. Each call is the reverse image of the other call. The Gobbler is made with a Maple top and bottom with double Walnut inlays, and a Walnut box (sound chamber) with a single Maple inlay. The Hen is made from a Walnut top and bottom with double Maple inlays and a Maple box (sound chamber) with a single Walnut inlay. Box boxes and lids contain double checkering. This is a beautiful set and has tremendous sound, making it equally at home in the living room and in the woods.

The Display case is made from Cherry and is included in the Seductive Pair series.
The painting on the lids is by Mississippi wildlife artist Bob Tompkins, two-time winner of the Mississippi Duck Stamp competition.

Gobbler Knife Series - $450 plus shipping and handling

This series contains both a custom-made call and a custom-made knife. The photo shows the pair in a Maple display case. The price includes the Maple display case.
The Call:
The call top and bottom are made from Brazilian Cherry, and the box itself is constructed from Curly Maple. The inlays in the top are Curly Maple; the box inlays are Brazilian Cherry. Like my Signature grade call, the box contains double-checkering along the length of the sides, adorned with a painted bust of a gobbler above it. Bob Tompkins, a noted Mississippi Wildlife artist, paints each top.
The Knife:
Greg Cartmell of Cartmell Galleries in Meridian, Mississippi hand-crafts each knife from either 0-1 tool steel or stainless steel with an "Old-World" etching of a gobbler's bust on the blade. The etching matches and complements the painting on top of the call. The handle is constructed from Brazilian Cherry in order to match the call top and bottom.
The call and display case are numbered each year; the knife is not numbered.

Designer Series - Starting at $275 per call plus shipping and handling
The final price depends on the type of wood chosen, the intricacy of the design, and the style of the artwork chosen.

In my new Designer Series calls, you design the entire call to your preferences. You can choose the types of woods you would like for the lid, the box, and the bottom, as well as the inlays. You can also choose the type of checkering you'd like on the top and the box, and you can choose between solid or laminated bottoms.

You can also specify any artwork you would like on the call. You can choose to have the turkey bust that appears on my Signature Grade calls, or a feather, or fan, or any other artwork that you might want. If you'd like a specific picture on your call, I can do this providing you send me a photo of what you'd like. A few examples of the type of artwork available and what they look like on the calls appear below.

To give you a better idea of the choices available to you, I have some examples of each part of the call below.

	Tops: Each top can have either single-checkering, double-checkering, or triple-checkering. You can also choose the type of wood you want for the top, as well as the inlay colors. This picture shows the three different types of checkering options on three different types of wood. The top on the left is made out of Walnut with single-checkering and has Red Cedar inlays. The middle top is made of Maple and has double-checkering with Walnut inlays. The top to the right is made out of Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry) with triple-checkering with two different inlays: Red Cedar on the inside and Walnut on the outside.
	Boxes (Sound Chambers): You can choose any type of wood you would like the box to be made from, and you can choose among single, double, or triple-checkering on the sides. I recommend (but it's not required, or course) that you have the same type of checkering on the box as you choose for the lids. Each box can have either a single inlay or a double inlay under the checkering, depending on what you want. The inlays can be made from any wood you choose, providing I can get it or you can supply it.
	Bottoms: You can choose either a solid bottom or a laminated bottom in your choice of woods. The picture shows a solid bottom on top and a laminated bottom underneath. The solid bottom is Walnut, and the laminated example is made out of two pieces of Walnut with a piece of Maple sandwiched between them.
	Available Artwork: This picture gives you some idea of what your call could look like. While many customers prefer the type of artwork shown here, you are not limited to these paintings. Each drawing will be hand-painted by a noted wildlife artist, and can be one of the designs pictured or it can be based on a photo you provide. The lid on the left is made from Maple, and has double-checkering, Cedar and Maple inlays, and has a turkey bust painting on it. The next lid is made from Walnut with double-checkering and Cedar and Maple inlays, and has four turkey feathers representing the four species of turkey in North America painted on it. The third lid is made from Cedar with double-checkering and Poplar inlays, and has a fan painted on it. The right-most lid is a double-checkered Walnut lid with Cedar and Maple inlays, and has a single feather painted on it.
