I like to start with a 3" blank.

[Feelin' Fowl]

I think 2x2x10 is common for barrel and insert. 2x2x5 for just a barrel.

[hudson]

Thanks guys

It depends on how good you are at drilling your center hole and how big you want the call when finished.
I go minimum 1 5/8" square.

In case you missed it, tripod just said he's pretty fucking good at finding the center.

that's why he is the father of half of the children in Oregon

Depends on where you're sending it. RNT takes 2x2x12 for a whole call, Echo takes 1.5x1.5x10 rounded for a whole call, most everyone else is 1.5x1.5x10 square for a whole call.

PM Don Taylor. He's been doing a lot with custom calls lately. He can help you out.

Check out Mayday calls on FB, he's making calls out of legos. Glues and puts the legos together in the shape of a blank and turns it. Sleeves the insert with acrylic for the toneboard. Pretty cool stuff.

Nooo, what I actually said is - sometimes I make small diameter calls.

Fine, pat your own back.

I don't even really know what you mean by "find the center", honestly

The 5/8" hole for center of the barrel, if you dont drill it dead center of the block it takes longer to get it round and finishes smaller dia.

[assateague]

That makes sense. Never turned anything on a lathe in my life, though.

[3legged_lab]

You should make one. All you need is a drill press turned sideways and clamped into a bench vise, some pillow block bearings and a wood chisel. If you dont have the drill press you'll need a hand held drill some 4" hose clamps and some plumbers tape.

[assateague]

That'll spin fast enough? I thought that bastards were really moving. I've got everything but the bearings.
