So turkey season is just about here where I live and I've been wanting a turkey box call for a long time I just didn't want to pay for a good. I have some nice wood stored away and I decided to try and make one myself. I don't have a table saw to saw thin strips for the sides and I had a 1 1/2" square block I decided to try and make one out of a solid piece of wood. I drilled a bunch of holes in the center and then cleaned it out with a wood chisel. Then I took it of to my bench sander and sanded the curves I needed and believe it or not it works and sounds like a turkey to boot. It's a piece of birds eye maple stained harvest gold. I though I would share it with you guys. The craftsmen ship isn't the greatest but it works.

"Birds eye maple" sounds like it should be a good wood to make a turkey box call.

Nice Job!! Another treasured part of you along with your trad bow will emerge from the hunt and may produce much bounty.

Thats the kind of thing that makes a hunt special.Call em in with your own equipment-thats special. I think the craftsmanship looks fine, thats A nice looking box call. Best of hunting to you.

Very nice. It would be really neat if you knew an artist to paint a turkey on the lid kind of like Glynn Scobey goose calls.

I wish I had your lack of craftsmanship

That is a beautiful call. Now go call in a big gobbler with it. Good luck.

Thanks for the comments guys. It's really not as complicated to build as it looks.

Yeah I made one once. I quickly realized woodworking wasn't my calling. Good looking box.
