I am attempting to make a duck call for the very first time, I have browsed Youtube for the answers I seek but can't really find anything. I need to know how thin i can/need to turn the blank? the instruction basically says nothing more than the length of the blank should be 3 1/2" then turns right around and says 3" Width is supposed to be 1 1/2 then turns right around and says 1" other than that it says NOTHING. On youtube all I get is all I already know which is to drill a 5/8" hole through the blank. There is no metal collar as some have on the insert end or that would at least give me an idea of what it needs I will be using Cocobolo. The kit will be a Arkansas Magnum kit (single reed). Any help at all would be appreciated Charles
