Duck calls | Wingert's Woodworks

Bocote barrel, African blackwood insert, brass band with copper pins.

It was bound to happen. Making turkey calls is great, except when it is duck season. I’ve been working diligently to get good sound from my duck calls over the last couple years. They are still a work in progress, but many satisfied customers are blowing Wingert’s Woodworks single reed duck calls.

My duck calls are made for hunters, not competition callers. Ducks don’t highball call, nor do they reach the volumes heard on the competition stage. My calls are made to work ducks. They are a moderate volume call that works well for most calling styles. Duck calls are not a one-size-fits-all thing, and the sound one hunter likes may not suit another. Order with confidence…If you do not like the call for any reason upon receipt, you can return the call and your full purchase price will be refunded.

All of my duck calls utilize two o-rings for a secure fit. I prefer an o-ring fit to a friction fit, as the insert is much less likely to fall out and be lost.

Most of my duck calls are finished with CA glue, which is essentially super glue. Many coats are applied one drop at a time while the call spins on the lathe, and are tediously and meticulously wet-sanded and buffed to a glass-smooth finish. CA is amongst the most durable clear finishes available. Traditional oil finish is also an option on many woods if you prefer a satin appearance. Acrylic and Corian calls are polished to a perfect shine. I pride myself in flawless finishes and craftsmanship that surpasses that of calls available from big-name callmakers.
