Toasted Calls.....

I started these last weekend and finished them up today. Flamed Osage Squirrel calls ready to go!

That is beautiful. Love the color of the wood, the texture of the burned wood and the finish looks perfect.

I have to ask - when you "call" the squirrels, do you used those Remmington shells to finish them off?

I use a .22 or my Nikon....some folks use a shotgun in states that do not allow rifles for them (can be dangerous in higher populated areas)

Sometimes I use calls to get an animals to look up or come find me

Ken, another great pair!! And, I love the pic of the buck - he is going to make a nice one! Someday, I would like to get some high res pics from you for my desktop!

Thanks John...deer are my favorite subject.

Quiet woods, peaceful settings, nature in its purest form. A far cry from what I get paid to shoot haha! Nothing throws rocks at me, im usually not covered in 3 inches of dirt (ever seen a brown Nikon?) and for the most part the nature stuff doesn't run me over from time to time!

Nice work Ken, amazing how elegant those simple shapes are. I have flamed bamboo before but not wood. Gives me some ideas, thanks.

Nice call and great photos. The flamed osage reminds me a bit of cocobolo.

You sure are a good shutterbug Ken. Great calls too! :)

Great looking tree-rat calls, there!

Great Job!

Very nice work on the calls Ken! That flame sure brings out the grain and color!
