G. Warner Calls

06/09/2017

This is old growth (approx. 150yr old) gallery grade "curly" Hawaiian Koa wood, (which can no longer be harvested!) for the barrel, and once again for the tonal properties, an African blackwood tone board. This call is tuned for open water/big bodies of water hunting. This call is destined for Washington state near the Columbia and Snake rivers. I was able to get a nice picture of the triple reed design also that affords a range of operation from the low register ring of a quiet "work the birds in from less than 30yds", to a 2nd register highball call for when they are just specs in the sky. I particularly like the chatoyance (French word for the shimmer or hologram effect) that this wood has especially when out in natural sunlight. The halogen lighting that I use above my work area picks up a bit of this quality but far from the effect that natural sunlight provides. I will also be adding a video with sound of me tuning the call and doing some basic calls, (perhaps I should put my call up against a "big name" brand! :) I'm not sure if the sound quality will come through on a cell phone video, but I'll be giving it an honest try come tomorrow evening.

Write me and let me know what you think!

Just received his epic duck call from Gerald. It was a gift from a very good friend of mine. The call sounds very good and I think some Green Heads will pay the price this fall. Until then it has a place of honor in my home office on my Grandfathers secretary. Truly a piece of art. The call and the 40's blue bill decoy will be in the field on opening day. Thanks Gerald and Jim.

If one is interested in getting a call, please know that each call is made for that person who is ordering it or the final recipient who is to use it. It is made for what type of areas that you hunt in, the calling style that you have, and for instance one client had very little lung capacity due to medical concerns which a low airflow design was designed. This is how I operate, so please have all possible information for the best possible call to be delivered to you!!
Cheers!

This is for the next call for a gentleman in Washington state. Gallery grade old growth curly Hawaiian Koa wood is what you see here. Beautiful stuff, was very pleased with the patterns on this blank. Making a bit of an open-water call for this one who's home will be in the vicinity of the Columbia and Snake rivers!! Neat stuff!!

This call was completed for a gentleman in Missouri. It is made of an outstanding piece of gallery grade burled amboyna wood from Australia. Per customer request during the phone interview conversation that will last 1-1/12 hours sometimes less or more, (during which the clients hunting style, surroundings, examples of current favorite calls, level of calling experience, and call expectations are ascertained) this was primarily tuned for flooded timber hunting. It can be very soft and quiet, but giving a bit more airflow can really make it come alive if you have to. As always, musical grade african blackwood has been utlized for the tone board here.

Here are some photos of some various band designs, call barrels, and an extremely nice gallery grade Austrailian burled amboyna blank that I will soon be utilizing for a call. And one of the last remaining pieces of gallery grade high-contrast black and white ebony wood as well. If you look closely at the middle band you will observe it is 2 tone gold and silver, limited number of these.

Looking forward to adding some demonstration videos very soon so that the great sound and overall tone of these calls can be shared!

This is what one can expect to see when taking delivery of a G. Warner call. Here you will see a display box, with custom logos burned into the top as well as the interior of the lid, the box is then packed with dried and preserved marsh grass, a velvet pouch for the call is of course included, the call itself of course, and a "letter of origin" for the call containing some of the specifics of that particular unit.
