This is a legitimate question and I will try to explain. Quality merchandise is easily identified when you see it and use it, because it costs less to maintain, always looks and feels a cut above the ordinary, and most importantly, will last much longer. My boxes are custom made from start to finish. I give very careful consideration to texture, density, quality material, and appearance before I ever design a call. These designs are used to obtain pitch, tone, and depth of sound characteristic of the wild turkey.
Inlays strengthen the sides, and in the top, they prevent warping and give balance.
Every design, inlay and lamination has a purpose and has been combined to be attractive as well as functional. This is quality. Using one block of wood lets me eliminate problems caused by imperfections in the wood. Thickness of the sides, tops and bottoms- determine tone, and the size determines depth of sound for that particular box. When the call is finished, it will make as close to perfect notes as can be made today.
