Wild Turkey Box Calls
By Bernie Moore
| | | |
|
Bernie Moore of Athens began designing turkey calls over 20 years ago for friends and fellow hunters. He has taught classes in Georgia for youth and adults alike about the art and science of scouting and hunting wild turkeys. Dean Mann, a former neighbor, helped him refine the technique for making the boxes and he markets them nationally as well as here in Greensboro. The calls are all hand-crafted using native woods. | | |
Bernie will be demonstrating his turkey calls from 11am-3pm on Saturday, April 15th for Southland Jubilee! | | |

March Staff Pick: Martha Jones | | |
|
Our lovely spotlight for our March monthly staff pick is Martha Jones! Martha has chosen to spotlight Derek Belflower's famous facejugs. She has always been a huge fan of Derek's artwork, and was even responsible for our being able to showcase his art in the store!
Each piece is totally different - some make you smile, some make you giggle and some, make you outright laugh! Oh and a few make you say, "Ughhhhh" But they all bring out a reaction. His detailing is exquisite and no two pieces are ever the same. The shot cups have been a big seller this year because they are fun, but functional and make such a great gift!
