Author Topic: Photos of Calls Krustyklimber prefers the bunny hugger pronunciation: ky o tee Member # 72 posted July 03, 2012 11:49 AM                    Ok, I am gonna have to get a lot better at taking pictures of calls. Here's two of the first batch of calls; This first one is Pacific Big Leaf Maple. It's got a high end as good as any call I've ever used... and if Andy doesn't surface soon, I'm keepin' it! And the second is a piece of spalted Sugar Maple. The body is thin, and the bell tube is fairly large and wide open, making it loud and proud. I've got another dozen or so calls in the works, but the weather has been way too hot for call making.

He wrote me a while back and asked if it was okay to paint his truck with the Huntmaster's coyote, and of course I said yes. Have not heard if he did or saw a photo? Good looking calls, Krusty.

If they sound half as good as they look, you have winners. -------------------- Al Prather Foxpro Field Staff Posts: 781 | From: Nicholasville, Ky. | Registered: Mar 2006  |  IP: Logged Krustyklimber prefers the bunny hugger pronunciation: ky o tee Member # 72 posted July 09, 2012 01:31 PM                    Sorry for the delay in replying, the internet has been a bit wonky since we got whooped by that last storm.... now I know what it's like to live in Lance's neighborhood. I'm working on finding an engraver, in the Richmond area, so upcoming calls can have the Krusty Kriers logo.... Smithers, I can't put a price on the first call, held for Andy, yet... as I said I really think I might keep it if Andy doesn't get it, because I never have kept a good one for myself. *And, because, like your call, this one was made from a block of wood I found clearing out my Grandma's shop. The second call, is as fine as any I've ever made, and I'd like to get $80.00 for it. LB & Koko, Thanks guys, I really do want Andy to get this call, and I appreciate your help. Al, I believe a call is all about the way it sounds, but I also believe that form follows function. The fact that I keep fixing things I see as "wrong with" a call until I no longer can find any mistakes, makes them aesthetically pleasing... in the same way a very well made gunstock is beautiful. Yeah, that's always the big if, isn't it.

The one I have is always with me. I love the sound and the tone board shape is the best in the business, IMO.

Member # 642 posted July 10, 2012 04:38 PM                   Im still alive. Hey Krusty, those are good looking calls. I still like yours the best for certain things. Hope you guys are doing good. Actually got to do some hunting last year. Docs got me fixed pretty good. Killed a few coyotes. Caught a few coons. Other than that, been workin two jobs and trying to catch up from 8 months of no work last year. Gettin there but still got a ways to go. Cost me all I had saved up and much more. Take care fellas. Ill try to check in more often. -------------------- Andy Posts: 2645 | From: Central Missouri | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged Krustyklimber prefers the bunny hugger pronunciation: ky o tee Member # 72 posted July 10, 2012 08:16 PM                    I guess I wasn't totally clear on price, the reason I couldn't set a price on Andy's call, is because I am gonna offer it to Andy at the same price he paid for his original call (*and would have charged more, for anyone else). Andy, Good to hear you're well. E-mail me and we'll iron out the details.

I just don't think it'd be right to jack up the price of a replacement. It's all part of standing behind my work and my word.

But, he IS sorta "special" if you know what I mean? Hey, you know, I especially like my elephant nose Krusty call. It's a dandy. Thank you! Good hunting.

And, we'll spare Andy any short bus jokes. There's a couple more of those triangular mesquitewood (elephant nose) calls in the works, so keep your eyes peeled folks. P.S. I'm ordering a new tool head for my grinder, so I'll be able to work on longer call bodies again, making models like the Leonard's Special (*a Krustyfied version of a Dan Thompson Red Desert Howler) a possibility.

Member # 642 posted August 09, 2012 10:40 AM                   Krusty, thats the best call you have made for me yet. Great tone and wide range of use. Rabbit, bird, barks, howls, ki yis, no problem. I love it. New shirtpocket call for me! -------------------- Andy Posts: 2645 | From: Central Missouri | Registered: Apr 2005  |  IP: Logged Rich 2,000th post PAKMAN Member # 112 posted August 10, 2012 02:47 PM                       Krusty, I still have that dimpled double reed call you made me way back when Moses was a kid. That thing sounds more like a jackrabbit than a jackrabbit does. You still make those? -------------------- If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

It's definitely one of those calls I was sad to see go, I'd gladly have kept it. Rich, I'm glad to hear you still have your call, as well. Your call was made fairly early in my call making, when I was still developing not just my style but my methods. And I tried as best I could to follow the tutorial you wrote, in wood, when I made your call. So, to answer your question "No" I don't and never really did make many like yours. But on the other hand, I still use the same double-stacked reed system and air channel, so the calls I currently make still have that "more like a jackrabbit than a jackrabbit" sound. Thanks, Krusty -------------------- Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are stupider than that!

I've also got a gorgeous English walnut call, with an amazing voice, that needs a home (*it does the best canine distress sounds of any call I've ever made). I'm picking up a scanner this weekend, if the weather will cooperate, so as in the past, I'll just go back to using that to picture the calls I've made.

Do you want one of the calls I have on hand (the maple call pictured above, or the English walnut), or would you rather have it made to order? How?
