Double L Designs "Duck-Down" Custom Duck Calls

After returning from service in the US Army in 1975, I started hunting various game with my bow and firearms in the fall. My interests were as varied here as in other life pursuits. I started making different types of game calls out of my training as an artist and sculptor at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Most of my early calls went to friends and sportsmen I met at some of the first Whitetail Deer Expositions held across the country. Later as the wild turkey and other game became more plentiful, the shows for them also started to appear. I started signing and numbering them a little late in my career as both a sportsman and hunter / photographer / designer. These calls are carefully crafted one at a time to ensure that they have all the qualities of a collectible piece. Individual attention and beautiful appearance. THe wood from each call is selected from a large lifetime collection of rare and exotic woods. Some pictured are made from shed antlers I have collected over many years of picking them up in the spring when the white-tailed deer naturally shed them. They are now carefully catalogued and documented to promote future interest and desirability. I always set a goal to produce a limited number each year and it seems like the editions or lot gets smaller each year. I produce duck. goose. and wild turkey box calls under the name of Lawson Call Co. by Double L Designs. Double L comes from Larry Lawson. Early on I signed and titled many box calls upon whims of the moment....if I was feeling lazy that day, I would name them...Lazy Larry's Legendary Turkey Calls or Lucky Larry's Gobbler Getters.....to keep it fun and interesting. The Duck and goose calls are limited mostly to 50 of each yearly. One day I may produce a "production" call at the interests of many sportsmen and women. Enjoy the fotos...I will add more later for the sake of posterity.
