A very good friend gave me a couple jake bones he had a while back, wanting me to fashion a wingbone yelper for him. I'm clearly not the right guy for this job, but let me tell you - Arnie Jonathan sure is.
I asked AJ to make two calls -- one for my buddy and one for me. Let's go 'function over form,' I told him, and then I waited for what I figured would be a few plain calls to show up. AJ responded with function and form together with these two beauties. AJ calls them hunter-grade, and all I could say was "Wow!" when I opened the box. I am just simply blown away by how strikingly beautiful these calls are, and more importantly how easily they run. These wing bones simply talk turkey because AJ knows how to tune a set of bones for sure. Within a few minutes I realized I was holding my new favorite call.
I found AJ to be everything people say: easy to talk to, easy to work with, customer first, and a true craftsman. Check his web site, you'll see for yourself. For "hunter grade" there is nothing plain and simple in AJ's definition - AJ builds form into function with every touch, and the beauty of the wing bone call shines with these examples. I couldn't be more proud to have one in my growing call collection.
A closer peek...
As if, as Tom Kelly writes, the last of the waiting for opening day wasn't hard enough to survive, now I have my new favorite go-to call begging and pleading to get out into the woods quick! Thanks AJ - I truly appreciate your work and effort.
First class all the way.
