Ducks! - SDB777 - 08-15-2015
Have been stuffing barrels for awhile. We make the PR blanks for the website, but I don't just sell the stuff....fella got to have some fun too! Most of the stuff in the group photo is gone, they sell really well....maybe I should charge more for them? The 'guts' are from Echo, they are right down the street from me($6/ea), instead of the $12+ that 'pen places' sell them for
Group photo!
This one was the very first call I made!

Great job. Great selection of blanks. And great photography! What did you use to take your photos and how was your lighting set up?

They look fantastic. What are they used for?
Also I sure would like to know how to make them. It would be so nice to have so the guys can make something nice with them.

I use an HDR set-up for the photography. Keep the shadows and highlighted(blownout) spots from taking over the image.
After looking at the image, looks like I need a lint removing tape roll
That black velvet cloth sure does make the stuff stand out.....The blanks, thank you. We have a LOT of them! And we even go nuts with custom 12 color pours to0

It's time lapse and there isn't any of my blah, blah, blah happening....sorry. I've been meaning to make a 'real vid', but it's hot in the garage!
Quacks like a duck!
I prefer Open Water single reeds, but most of the calls I sell are using the Timber double reed. Does make a difference as to the amount of air needed to make the call 'work'.....

When you said Ducks, first thing I thought of was my Oregon Ducks. At first glance, I thought they were perfume bottles, then figured out they are duck calls. Pretty stuff. They would make excellent threaded boxes as well.

Not sure if they would be large enough for 'boxes'? The blanks are only 1.5"d x 3"L....
Sorry about the title, my finger don't move as fast as my thoughts when I'm typing most times.

I was lucky enough to win one of Scott's duck calls a few weeks back. He's a good dude and they make some great blanks.
Scott, good to see you posting here.
