Wood turning a Turkey call from Walnut and Brazilian Ash

In this video I decided to get back to my roots, so to speak and turn a turkey pot call. I had to learn it all over again, but they're not too difficult. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed it and maybe got some inspiration to try making one. As always, feel free to leave some suggestions. Thanks!

Thats a beautiful looking call. Nice work sounds good too

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks! These are fun to make and get figured out.

[@DavidAdamsen]

Mike that is so cool! I've never seen a turkey call in that style! Well done! I may have to try that some time!

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks, David! You should definitely give it a try. They’re not too hard and they’re pretty fun to make.

[@hectorgduran]

Great video and nice looking slate call. Awesome music choice! 👌🏼

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thank you, Hector! Much appreciated! Sorry for the slow reply, busy times. Thanks again!

[@dwbrasfieldful]

Now thats cool Mike. Great job and glad you stayed with it. Turned out Purdy...

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks for the kind words, David! Sometimes being stubborn works out in the end. Lol

[@spindlesworkshop9744]

Mike, I enjoyed that video...you are getting some great angles and close ups. And that turkey call actually worked...lol Thanks for sharing

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

woodworking 220-7 thanks, Luie! I was hoping it would sound ok since it has been awhile since I made one. I lucked out. Lol

[@SiamWoodShop]

Well Mike, this is definately a first for me. When I saw the photo I wondered how you would blow into it. I have never seen one of these before, well done and very ingenious.

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Siam Wood Shop thanks, John! I’ve never tried the mouth type turkey calls. These are a lot easier. Lol

[@jamariarian5769]

A trick : watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@noeltrace3899]

@Jamari Arian definitely, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)

[@slomo1562]

Nice result.

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks, I appreciate it! 👍🏻

[@woodturningalvaro4507]

Great job. Very beautiful piece. Look so amazing. 👌👌😊

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words! 🙂

[@ericschenck9954]

Awesome job brother!

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks, Eric! I appreciate it. 🙂

[@AndysCornishCreations]

Hi Mike...I really enjoyed watching you make that Turkey call.. very clever.. I have never seen one before...no wild turkeys in the UK...your filming and editing is impressive...great job...All the best.....Andy

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Andy's Cornish Creations thanks so much, Andy! Unfortunately I’ve never seen a wild turkey inside turkey season. Out of season I see them all of the time. 😂 Thanks for the compliment, it takes more time editing, but hopefully it’s worth it. 🙂

[@JamesReynoldsRockWallHunter]

Wow so cool thanks for the sharing

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

James Reynolds RockWallHunter thanks, James! I appreciate the kind words. 🙂

[@genecooksey3871]

Wow Mike, that was so cool to watch, like a lot of other people i have never seen a Turkey call, nice job and sounds good too

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Gene Cooksey thanks, Gene! I always enjoyed making these types of calls. It’s fairly relaxing. 🙂

[@koiz107]

Nice work! I'm going to need you to make me one of those!!

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Funny you mention it, I was planning on making some more soon. It’s been a while and I gotta get back in practice with them.

[@myrocraft]

A very beautiful result! Well done!👍

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Garage Rest thank you very much! 🙂

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Very nice 👍

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thank, Chris!

[@gravelcouleewoodworking5049]

Good job mike that turned out awesome!

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

gravel coulee woodworking thanks, Gravel! I appreciate it!!

[@ronswoodturningshopandstuf5759]

Very nice! I liked that mirrororor view from the bottom. Neat idea. I have fun making them as well. Slightly different approach on chucking but end result the same..

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks! The way I had it on the chuck almost ended in failure, but I couldn’t remember exactly how I used to do it. It’s been years since I’ve made one.

[@Димитрий-ш6с]

Thanks for the video. Good luck!

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thank you!

[@Enchanted3DPrints]

Awesome! I recently bought a turning setup and have been making duck calls but wanting to branch out and help fund my hobby by selling a few.

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Congrats on your new toys…. I mean tools 😁 It’s pretty addicting and I’ve definitely spent more than I’ve made, but I really enjoy it so that’s ok. I wish you well on selling them, that would make it even better. 👍🏻

[@Enchanted3DPrints]

@@ScenicCityWoodturning Thanks for the reply and yes i dropped about 4500 to get started. One tool leads to another. All my buddies want calls now so hopefully it will pay for itself at some point. Looking forward to more videos!

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

The tools never stop, there's always a newer/better/shinier one haha. But it's fun and yep, hopefully it makes us enough money to at least support the habit. I mean hobby lol

[@Secondlifeofwoodturning]

I was growing up on country but never seen turkey call. We just saying "gulgulgul" and they come back, even neighbours turkeys 🤣 That is very original idea and it works very good. Even my wife has fooled 😁 👌 Take care Mike 👍

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Second life of wood-turning haha thanks, Rav! Your method works, too! Plus it’s a lot cheaper and always ready. 😁

[@Secondlifeofwoodturning]

@@ScenicCityWoodturning My neighbour wasn't happy 😁 especially when the turkeys didn't want to go back to him 🤣🤣🤣 It was always good fight 😜

[@MrNcturkey]

Did you get a turkey with it? Good job on making the caller.

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks, Mike! I haven't even been able to go hunting yet.Hopefully one day I can test them out, though. Thanks for watching!

[@DTzant]

I’m looking to get a lathe. What do you have? Thanks

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

I'm sorry, David. I haven't been able to be too active on here and didn't see your question. In this video I was using a Jet 1014. I have since upgraded to a Laguna 1836. The Jet was great to start out with.

[@geoffbrookman3041]

Nice one Mike, good choice on the two wood combo vs using one solid piece of wood. If you ever want to process that oak down further on the band saw shoot me a message. I live around the corner from woodcraft and would be glad to let you stop by if you're interested

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Geoff Brookman thanks, Geoff! I actually meant for the woods not to be as symmetrical as they turned out, but it worked out ok I think. I really appreciate the offer! Next time I’m up that way I may give you a shout. 👍🏻 If nothing else, just to say hi. 🙂

[@jeffbenhase7945]

Nice work Mike. Where can I find the slate and sound board?

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Thanks, Jeff! I have had these for a few years, but I think I got them from brooksidegamecalls.com They have just about anything you would need for most any kind of call. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

[@swampmadness4221]

Where did you get the surface at

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

I believe I got them at brooksidegamecalls.com. They have a great selection. I apologize for the late response, KZbin hasn’t been great on comment notifications. Thanks for watching!

[@swampmadness4221]

Scenic City Woodturning thx

[@STMwoodturning]

Interesting! Where did you get the small magnetic lamp on your lathe?

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

I got it on Amazon. www.amazon.com/dp/B012C240BS/?coliid=I1SPPDTPMPNSGY&colid=CPTBJ4R5VF27&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I’ll probably buy a couple more eventually, they’re pretty handy. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻

[@glenmorton9970]

Great job why not make more to sell

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

Glen Morton thanks, Glen! I used to make them a lot more several years ago, but stopped turning for a few years. Then the market exploded with people making all kinds of calls. I hadn’t thought about selling them again lately, but I may test the waters so to speak. Lol

You care if I share this to a group on fb? Get some more views for you

[@ScenicCityWoodturning]

gravel coulee woodworking I don’t mind at all, thanks, Gravel!
