Seen enough feedback here that I got on his wait list. I'm digging the idea of a red slate but if you could only have one (probably ordering two but for the sake of it) which one of his calls would you get?

Also, I'm intrigued by the double sided calls. Is it always slate on slate? Guessing the small side is for tree talking?

I had his crystal/carbon in clear acrylic pot and it was killer.

I have a slate, a glass, and a ceramic. All 3 are awesome but that ceramic has a next level sound to my ear.

I have one of his red slate persimmons that he seems known for.  Pair it up with a JLH frog and whew. I know they are good buddies...You'd swear they were made to run together. 


I found Buster on Facebook and sent him a message.

I am not sure with Buster but generally speaking two sided calls are not always slate and slate, as a matter of fact I have seen very few slate and slate, normally what I have seen is like a Crystal/Slate, Aluminum/Slate, Glass/Slate or so on. Basically a louder main surface and then the slate under for a more mellow sounds. He may well do it differently though.

I've got his acrylic crystal/cf, persimmon red slate and ceramic mahoe. All 3 play fantastic and it's a matter of what the bird wants to hear that day

Persimmon/red slate or Osage / glass  both proven killers by me.....

Looks like I'll definitely be requesting a red slate in persimmon.

I have a clear acrylic with glass over slate from Buster. It's a VERY good call.

I have had and sold a few of his calls over the years. My favorites are the persimmon pot green slate over glass, Osage pot glass over slate and an acrylic pot stoned aluminum over glass. But my most favorite is a bloodwood glass over slate. I gave my brother a Christmas present a few years ago ..... a canarywood pot green slate over glass. That pot alone I believe has 8 dead gobblers to its credit.

How long is his wait list? I can't get another call til next year so if it is shorter than that I will hold off. Thanks.

I ordered my red slate persimmon a couple months ago and had it within a week or 2.
