I started with a 1" thick piece of cherry a little over 4 inches in diameter. I used a drill press to drill the center hole all the way through and 8 holes equally spaced around the center hole about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch deep, I made a Jig for this so I could make multiple calls with out having to measure every time.
I first put the call on the lathe with the holes facing outward using the bottle stopper mandrel. I surfaced the call's bottom and rounded off the sides making sure to put a slight concave shape in the middle to make a good grip. Then I sanded and finished the bottom of the call and turned it with the front facing outward.
I then surfaced the front, And began to mark for the shoulder that would hold the glass striking surface. Then I decided where I wanted my pedistool to be in the middle to hole the sound board and began to cut away all the wood in the middle of the call. Follow the instructions in the video to be sure you have proper spacing between your soundboard and the striking surface. After It was shaped the way I wanted I sanded and finished the inside of the call to protect it from any moisture that may try and build up inside the call.
Finally I glued in the soundboard and the striking surface, use what ever glue you feel comfortable using. Ive seen people using CA glue, Goop, Gorilla glue ect. Be sure to pick the one you think will hole up the best.
