Another winning combo from Chad. This is quartersawn sycamore (which looks pretty cool, once you really look), and easily rivals the walnut ceramic - this might even have an edge. I don't often double-down on calls, but these ceramics are the exception.

Update / REVIEW:
Chad's Quartersawn Sycamore Ceramic is a new combo that easily rivals his walnut pot. It has a great full-body sound that really makes it shine. It sounds turkey. Like "Outdoors" said, ceramic calls have come a long way.
Chad's calls play well across the entire surface - making them very user friendly. You can condition a small area with a stone, or just run it anywhere. You can get several tones or pitches out of the call, and add as much or as little high front that you like. The call also plays equally well when playing soft.
I was never a real fan of blonde woods, but like "Happy hooker" said, Chad could make it out of plywood or a 2x4 from Home Depot and I wouldn't really care.
Is it the best? Nope... THAT call doesn't exist. Is it as good as it gets? I think so. You can only stuff so many feathers in a call to make it sound turkey - and any more in this one and it would be on a nest right now...

Really sharp looking call . . . .
I bet when it's in the sunlight, it really comes to life.
Nice looking call!
Chad's calls are awesome. I have his Cermanic in a Maple Pot.
Looks nice
The stumpy ceramic sounds fantastic,,probably in plywood too if he made it.
I just received one in a Walnut pot that plays great. I like a call that plays great anywhere and it does. I can easily get a couple different hens out of it.
I remember when about ceramics first came out
Compared to the last few years
There's been a great improvement............
BECOMING A GREAT CALL TO HAVE

It's kinda crazy how good it sounds all over. Including dead center!
Thanks guys I am glad u guys like the calls been getting a lot of confirmed kills with them lately
Hope y'all pile them um like cord wood
THANKS CHAD I APPRECIATE THIS GREAT SOUNDING
CALL AND EVERYTHING ELSE YOU HAVE DONE TO KEEP THE SPORT OF TURKEY HUNTING AND CALL SUPPLIES YOU HAVE TO OFFER GOING :cross2:
I am yet to try ceramic other than on a old Quaker Boy Triplex I have, how does it compare to slate or crystal for sound? Never heard on in a full pot, just my Triplex. Nice looking call by the way.
It is a old raspy nasty hen on the tail en and a good high front end but not to high and turkeys seem to love the sound, the first one I made called up a pile of birds u could haul off in three full-size pickups and built myself another one and it is following suit, there is a sound file on the forum steelerfan posted a couple of weeks ago of a walnut ceramic if not mistaken

Bill's hickory really grips well for me on all surfaces. Not as sexy as some woods, but I'm pretty sure it could get a yelp off the kitchen counter! lol
Nice looking call.

That's got a neat sound to it.
Beautiful looking and great sounding call. i think im going to have to add this to my list of calls i need to get. congrats on a killer pot
Awesome job stumpy!!
nice
Thanks guys I appreciate it and I am humbled at the amount of calls I have sold this year to all the good folks in the turkey world
Stumpy
Make one in a corian pot and you would have one great foul weather call.
Happy hooker I would but I can't ever find any corian 7/8" thick and don't know if the ceramic being so high pitched would make a good nasty raspy call or not but if I can find some the right thickness I may make a few to try
Sweet looking and sounding call!
Which is the better seller, the maple or walnut pot? Sound difference between the two?

I have the walnut and quartersawn sycamore. I would hunt either / no questions asked. If I had to say, the sycamore has a deeper tone, and the walnut is ever so slightly higher. Not enough to say one is "better"... just slightly different. My ear is liking the sycamore right now.
It is really hard to say what is better, everyone you meet and play them they like them all but pick one sometimes I would not have chosen but all are turkey or I burn them, some like deeper tones and some like higher pitched so it is hard for me to really say which is better
I am working on a red heart pot now and gonna see what it sounds like when finished but I really like the cherry, walnut, Birdseye maple, ambrosia maple, sycamore
Medium density woods seem to make a better ceramic for me than the exotic hardwoods
Stumpy
^^^^ what he said! :icon_thumright:
I love quarter sawn Sycamore. I've got 2 long boxes, a short box and have another long box on order.
Stumpy makes a heck of a ceramic pot. I often carry one of his Cherry ceramics hunting.
What one sounds better is always subjective. What I was looking for was, which one is the better SELLER. Walnut or Maple. Best selling, most popular, whatever you want to call it.

in my opinion the sycamore and walnut are best sellers and sounds the best to my ear
and the best sellers
Thanks

Thanks

Of all my Pot Calls, Stumpy's Cermanic was the only call I could play on those damp mornings with a wood striker. All my other calls needed a carbon or aluminum striker. Huge benefit in my opinion because I dont care for the carbon or aluminum tipped strikers.
Stumpy's Walnut Ceramic bumped a couple pots out of my vest this year that where go to calls. Very realist turkey in that pot.
Got one in the mail today, craftsmanship and most importantly the sound are as good as it gets.
This is one outstanding call, thx Chad!!
Got one on its way to Mississippi

I got my sycamore and walnut pots yesterday. Both are awesome calls, but I am definitely sold on the sycamore. I think you would be hard pressed to find a better ceramic than either of these. Thank you Chad for the killer pots.
guys I appreciate all the comments and I am honored to have such great feedback and wanted to thanks each and everyone of you guys for purchasing one of my calls and I hope you pile up the longbeards year after year with them
Thanks
Chad
Stumpy is your standard ceramic pot over glass or slate?
I'm a big ceramic fan and that sound file was pure turkey fire
Over glass is what i like the best

I just ordered the ceramic sycamore pot. Now the anticipation/waiting starts,I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning.
stumpy, sent you a pm

I got a Sycamore ceramic in the mail today,. I have owed just about every ceramic made by the common named call Maker's. The only ceramic I have kept is my Halloran ceramic, until today it was the best sounding ceramic I have owed but this Sycamore ceramic by Chad is off the charts good!!! It's pure turkey, I still can't believe how good it sounds. Thank you Mr.Chad for a fantastic sounding pot
:icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Field tested, Gobbler approved. Called in Dads 2nd bird of the day with the Sycamore. It will see plenty of vest time next year.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180520/e827f4350a6cbfffd47ff1e10b558e75.jpg)

Wow! That is an awesome sounding call! Got a couple of ceramic calls but they have never made the cut into my vest. SteelerFan I think you just cost me some money I am going to put in an order for one of those.
I got mine in the mail yesterday. All I can say is it is outstanding. Thanks Stumpy.
thanks guys I really do appreciate the feedback
Stumpy
I just received mine in the mail. All the praise above is spot on. This is an outstanding pot call.
I just received the Sycamore ceramic and agree with RV completely! And Chad is a great guy to deal with!! :icon_thumright:

I got one of these second hand. Sounds awesome with a Lyman bloodwood. Will be hunting this pot next season. Easy to get great soft purrs and yelps have a great roll over that I have not gotten out of other Ceramics I have tried
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Mine is in the mail. It won't make it in time for the last hunt of this season, but I am definitely looking forward to getting it.
Imho Mr. Chad's ceramic is the best available. It is the only call i have bought 2 of to make sure i always have one to hunt. The sycamore and ambrosia maple both sound excellent. Haven't tried the walnut.
I hunted the walnut and birds responded well to it. I only had it for the last couple of hunts of the year. Broke down and ordered the sycamore. Im gonna be honest , this walnut jumped up in my top pot list and i own over a 100 pots. It is pure turkey. I would recommend this pot without a thought.
Just got mine in the mail today and this call is something special.
Never had a pot call you can run anywhere on the call and it be fully of turkey.
Only ceramic call that has made the cut to my vest. It will be riding along side my Platz cherry slate, Corder osage glass and Dawkins aluminum next year in my vest for sure which is the highest compliment I can pay it.
Thanks Stumpy!
Received mine today, all turkey, making room in the vest.......
guys anyone out there wanting one of these ceramics let me know asap, I will be making them this week and then gonna take off for a few months and spend time with my family this summer
thanks
