Handcrafted Turkey Calls

Premium double slate calls hand-turned from locally harvested Arkansas Ozark hardwoods. No two are exactly alike.

Crafted by Hand

My enjoyment of hunting and wanting the best sounding calls has led me to focus exclusively on creating premium precision turkey calls. I have designed my own unique double slate calls and work alone in my shop to hand craft each call and striker.

Each of my calls are different, no two are exactly alike. Much of the wood I have harvested locally in the Arkansas Ozarks and have collected special pieces for years to use in making calls and strikers.

I hand finish every call and striker with three or more coats of satin polyurethane to ensure a durable product. Although the beauty of the call is important, re-creating authentic turkey sounds is my main goal.
