Oh yeah... Make sure when you send Jay an e-mail about a call order you "subject" the e-mail Rhino Call Order or something to that effect. Otherwise it gets unanswered and you have to post "Hey Jay!" and wait for him to e-mail you! LOL Hey Jay! What do you use to finish your calls, particularly my flame maple call pictured above? I thought I had read somewhere you left the wood natural, so it took on some character, if so I am going to hit mine with a coat of wipe on polyurethane, to bring up the flames some. I have some more flame maple now, I'll have to make you your Krusty Kriers call soon, and maybe send along another blank and a crow call voice.  Krusty  |

Krusty,
I typically hit the calls with about 4 or 5 coats of wood turners poly urethane finish. It is clear but like anything wet it darkens the wood a bit and brings out the highlights. then I use a Carnuba hard wax that I apply while the call is spinning to heat it up and fill some voids and polish it with a clean cotton cloth like a T-shirt.
Some wood like Ironwood and African Blackwood require super heating to burn the polyurethane in. when you apply the wax, you need to be careful that you don't get it too hat or your strip the urethane.
Once in awhile I will use something like tungoil and give it several coats, but this may take an extra week for all the coats to dry and get a good finish.
Naw that you know all my secrets, get a broom handle and have at it. It's not all that hard to do. Just takes some patience an a willingness to turn trees into forewood. I keep filling up buckets of my goofs. Exotic woods don't burn too well and some put out toxic fumes so be careful.

Yeah... The only good mistake is a mesquite mistake, topped off with a rare steak? OK thanks, Krusty |

Well sir I don't own a brass Rhino but I've used one and can tell you this, not only do they look sharp as a razor but they get results. Used one for a day, made 7 stands and called 6 coyotes with only 2 dry stands. I say they make the grade and should be in every callers bag of tricks.
