Ouachita Mountains Custom Creations

Hey everyone, this recession we are currently in has me out of the shop and has had me out of the shop for several months now.
I am going to shut this page down, and will no longer be posting here, if i make any calls or commissioned pieces, i will do it through my personal page and no longer carry this name. Thanks!

If you want to follow my work on my personal page,
James Yelverton is my profile.

Been a while since I've posted on here. Been tied up with a competition and others.

Here's a call Chris Jordan and I just finished up for a collaboration call contest. Chris made this call out of Deadshot ivory acrylic, brass band, brass inlays with chittum burl caps.
Thank you Ryan Lockwood, for giving us permission to scrimshaw his signature on the shell bag in the scene.

This call features a Browning A5 hanging on a redoak with a R.Lockwood signature shell bag. Chris, and mine initials scratched into the tree. A greenhead mallard cupping up and coming right in, along with the scenery of some Cypress trees with Spanish moss, and a feeding Suzy, with some leaves and acorns to finish off with. Thanks for looking! I had a blast with this!

I have this grunt tube available!
Freehand woodburning on holly wood, walnut caps and walnut band with carved oak leaves with wormwood carving behind the leaves to help with contrast.
Pm if interested!

I'm donating this call to a raffle, which the proceeds will be going to a great guy/fellow call maker. This one is cherry burl with ABW caps, aluminum inlays, with a freehand scrimshaw band, with ABW toneboard. Thanks for looking!

Blood wood single reed duck call, light carved oak leaves around the band area, not for sale!

Here's another random one, cedar with half sap wood, Red inlays with oak burl caps and band, Woodburned oak leaves, and feathers with some stippling. Thanks for looking!

I've got 5 deer grunts available at the moment, with different scenes of freehand woodburnings on them.
These are made from cedar, all by me, from log, all the way to finished deer call, even the toneboards are my own design and sound, All being hand tuned and hand turned with no computer equipment what so ever. $70 a piece, buyer pays shipping, I'm located close to hot springs and will meet local if wanted. Thanks for looking!

First time putting ink to it! It's coming together!

Here's two I've got in the works at the moment!

Got it Finished! Woodburning on Holly, cork inlays, stabilized redwood burl caps, and band, with a CA finish. This is a freestyle drawing off the top of my head, a greenhead dropping in, with some mallards following, with two already on the water, some cat tails and a few bur oak leaves and acorns. Thanks for looking!

Here's one in the works, woodburned on Holly, with cork inlays and redwood burl caps and band. Working the insert at the moment, going to be out for a week, I will post a finished pic when completed.
This one is already sold!

Got it finished guys!
This is a commisoned whistle that's going to be a gift to a man that recently lost his grandpa (fishing buddy) I was asked to incorporate something fishing related and feathers, so I decided to go with a bait style, she then requested I make a leather wrist strap for it, something completely different, I'm kinda digging it though. It's wrapped with stainless steel wire, and I made a stainless eyelet for the wrist strap to attach too (like the line on a lure). The saying on It is "You walked the walk and talked the talk", which I thought was fitting because it looks like a top water lure and you can do a little talking with it. Thanks for looking guys! This was a fun build!
(I will glue in the ramp when the oil is finished drying).
