OT - laminate deer calls
Slightly off topic, but still related to deer hunting.
As the long time members know I have been making deer calls for forum members for years. A few years ago a fire destroyed the factory that made the laminates I used for many of my calls. The supplier I bought them from has been searching for a replacement ever since that source ended.
Last year he introduced a new product which I tried and was not satisfied with. My reason - too high priced, and NOT durable.
Now he has another possible replacement, so I ordered a blank to try. Got it yesterday, and turned a call to see how I liked it.
I think I found a winner!!!!!!!!
There will be 4 colors available (I will be ordering all 4 colors soon). Here is a pic of the call I turned to see if I liked the laminate.
(the call is not finished yet, but when it's done I'll put it on the "Trading Post" section)
Not 100% sure of an asking price yet, but this material will allow me to keep the price in the range I was getting for my lower priced wood calls.

I have one of Mike’s custom calls and it has never failed to call them bucks in yet! They are nice pieces of art too! Lucky hunter who gets this beauty.

I think we might see Wabi Custom Calls at Boofest if my gut is right.

Beat me to it. That's looks awesome. I guess I'll hold out for the other colors, though that one would work nicely. I have a family member or two that could use one of these.

Re: OT - laminate deer calls
Coming soon -
The 4th color (fall camo) is currently unavailable, but should be here well ahead of hunting season.
I am currently waiting for more supplies to be delivered so I can get back to turning a few calls over the summer months, but at the moment I do not have all the materials on hand to complete any calls, so prepare to wait.
If you are interested in reserving a call please email me at - [email protected]
The PM notification is not working for me, so it is possible I may miss PMs!

Re: OT - laminate deer calls
If I may ask, what are these calls? I have a couple of hand-me-down grunt calls that never seem to call anything. Are they grunt calls or otherwise? Thanx!

Re: OT - laminate deer calls
I probably owe wabi a fine cigar or two for every buck that I arrowed right after I used his awesome sounding custom grunt tube. Thanks. Mike.

Re: OT - laminate deer calls
The reed can be adjusted for several settings to cover everything from a fawn bleat to a buck grunt.
A grunt can be a great call at the right time of the year, but can also be the wrong call at other times.
