Cool calls.
Micarta has an interesting history.
You know what else is made from it?

I've not seen James since he cut that Micarta Riceland down to the old James Meyers dimensions that fit my hand better for me last Fall, but think it's a safe bet he's still smoking.

Great point...when shopping for a duck call the hand fit matters as well. You gotta fan the call to make a really good quack.
