I was reading your site for info on call making and thought I'd drop you an email to ask your advise. I want to make my Dad a two handle longbox style call. I have some osage (hedge apple) and apple (golden delicious, I believe) and was thinking of making it glue-up style with an osage center, apple sides, and an osage paddle. First off, I've never made a paddle call before, just some scratch box style calls. I was thinking of making the center piece by using a table saw set at 5 degrees and then cutting out the sound chamber. I would then glue the apple sides on, mabye extending them into the handle area and then shaping them. Do you think this approach would work? What about the wood selection? How large of a sound chamber should I make?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Chuck
