A buddy of mine dropped this call this last spring hunting.  Couple weeks ago he asked me if
I could fix it.  I said I would try.  During the finish work, I found a new one online, so I bought it for sound comparison.  I was happy to find out, that mine sounded a little better.  More top
End, better roll over, and better purrs.  I made the new pot out of Walnut, and tried to keep the exact tolerances from the original.  I think he's gonna love it!  Thanks for looking.

Beautiful piece of walnut! He's a lucky buddy for sure.

Awesome! How did you get the glass out without breaking it?

That has to be the prettiest "H.S." call ever!

Had a buddy who owned a HS Glass pot call that was made from "pressed wood", that call got poured on during a hunt and after that hunt the call began to swell and eventually pushed the glass out and call became useless...

If he still has it, have him send it to me.  I'll fix it!

Gently heat the glass up with a heat gun.  Use a razor blade to get under an edge and lift it out.  Have a towel ready to set the glass  in to wrap it up immediately.   Keeps it from cool g too fast and cracking.

I might buy one off eBay and "break" it so you can fix it...

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field
