@JR Custom Calls here's some pics of the base that we talked about. It narrows up pretty fast and gets oval, but you surely know more about what you can use than I do.

Allen, where it forks above the base, it looks a little over 4"... Does it look to be that way the whole way around? I think the base is a bit narrow, but if it's closer to 4" above it, I could use that for the top and the base for the bottom.

It gets oval real quick, down to about 2 3/4"

Dang, I don't think I can make that work. The glass is exactly 3.5", which looks to be about the diameter of that. Unless you think I could get it to fit in there... I'm half tempted to say lets try it, but I don't want to waste it if something happens and it doesn't pan out.

3.5 definitely won't work, probably more like 2.75 to be realistic. A baby turkey call................a poult call!:lol:

@Robert Uresk and I have been talking about some elk antler.
These 3 are 2x6 or better and I want $8 a piece plus shipping.

This is on hold until I talk with @Steve S. I was unclear on what sizes I had told him and just noticed it.:blush-33:

Allan please put me in line. I would like smaller diameter horns for knife handles. I really like the end tines with a little curve in them.

Alan are these antlers green or seasoned. Seasoned would be antlers that fell off several years ago and the core is not gooey or oily? I would need seasoned.

Scott, most of these are this years sheds, but the centers are plenty dry. I can get you some end pics tonight if Rob passes on them.
