Long Box Turkey Call Wood Burning Complete



Here it is the Long Box Call wood burning is complete. Here are the before and after images.

Custom burned Pot Call Strikers


I've had a small request for burning pot call strikers lately. It was the first time for me burning on a striker like this and it looks really cool. I made three to pair with some Bamboo Pot Calls I made and man are they nice!

X-Mas Bamboo Pot Calls



I just finished these beautiful Bamboo Pot Calls for Christmas gifts. The bamboo pot were milled by my great friend Larry and I assembled & finished'em. I made 2 Ambered Glass over Slate and on Slate over Slate. All three received custom wood burning on the bottom. Being the Bamboo is from northern China I thought some Chinese writing was appropriate. I paired each call with a custom burned striker. Yellow Heart-Padauk-Dogwood. Thanks Larry for the awesome sounding pots.

Rochester Late Season Goose Hunt


My Brother Dennis and I were invited to Rochester MN for a late season goose hunt 2 weeks ago. We sat in an underground pit nestled in a small patch of corn. We had 16 total hunters and 2 guides/callers as well. They called in the geese and we tried to harvest 2 each. The total for the day was 14 and almost everyone went home with a goose that wanted one.
Late season goose is some of the tastiest goose of the year seeing they are concentrated near a feed source and fatten up for their migration. Here is a snap shot of the view from the HOLE!

Great Day In the Field


I spent last Sunday in the field with some great friends and members of Shine Box Pro Staff chasing ringneck pheasants. Mother nature provided us with a 43 degree December day!! We took advantage and bagged some really nice birds. Colt had a chance to show his pointing skills and didn't disappoint me. We bagged 16 birds total and enjoyed 6 of them for dinner! I love Pheasant and Colt got some to.
