Just getting into turning mostly because I like making and using my own stuff for hunting and fishing. I pour my own jigs and plastics, tie my own jigs and flies, reload my own ammo, make my own arrows and a longbow etc. Also tanning my own fur for projects so it only felt natural to make my own game calls.
I've turned a few turkey pots so far and a couple squirrel calls. Every time I get a little better at it but I'm a perfectionist at heart so I won't be happy until they're perfect.
I've finished the turkey pots mostly with blo and then a wax paste. For the air blown calls I plan on finishing with ca to protect from the condensation on the inside. How is the best way to get a good coat on the inside of a call without messing up the id where a reed won't fit properly? I've yet to try it. Also, can you put ca over blo? I like the look blo gives but I want the protection of the ca. Thanks.
