I was cleaning and burning wood scraps in my shop over the weekend and came across this paddle for a box call. This was a throw away of Indian Charlie's, one he was't happy with when making his box calls. I used to take them and wood burn turkey feathers and legs with spurs for desk plaques. Well I put a thin piece of slate on, cut it down to fit and drilled a hole for a lanyard. It sounds like a young hen yelping , purring and puttin'. I'll be useing this one come spring time.

Nice looking call. Coupla questions how thick is the wood and slate?I'm guessing3/16"for the wood and 1/8" for the slate.
What kind of glue did you use?Epoxy? Final question are those your oranges 8)
Thanks Leroy

Thanks, Guys.
Leroy, the wood is a 1/4" and the slate a little less than an 1/8". And those oranges are in my backyard along with the pineapples and lemons.
Tim, it is not loud but it sounds real sweet. :)
