Just curious if he is making calls thanks in advance guys.
I don't think so, haven't seen any in some time.
well I was wrong, I typed in Fords name and a article came up written by Mike Giles in February of this year, it has Fords number to call and get one.

Seen that article from February Bailey just wanted to verify and that is impressive at 91!
Just wanted to post this if anyone is interested, Ford Mangum is now 91 years old and still putting together his trough calls. I bought a slate and glass about a month ago and they are unique and sound great and his aluminum is now on the way. If anyone interested in a great trough from a good guy give him a call.
Congrats on some great calls, post up some pic, I would love to see them.
Can send you a picture Bailey not sure how to post on here says files to big, you should try an get some or even better go visit him Bailey, bet he could make those troughs sing!
Mr. Ford is a good man. He lives about 15 mins from me. If anyone is considering getting a GREAT trough call, you need to go ahead and get one. You won't be sorry, they are killers. Best sounding trough I've ever heard. I have the glass. Mr. Ford's favorite is the aluminum.
I've got a slate and a glass trough call from him and they are both as good as they get.
I have to give him a call. I love trough calls. Any idea how much he gets for one and if he will mail them? Also the best time to call him.
How do you get in touch with him. THANKS
His troughs are 50 apiece plus shipping he offers slate,glass, and aluminum and i called Ford twice 6:30-7:00 pm his number is 601-732-6493. Real good guy and great troughs mine are dated 2014 and 2015 I think he has the parts to them and is putting them together still but assuming they are predated. The wood he uses is cedar and the strikers as well they look kinda like a pencil really neat and unique! If someone is willing i can send a photo of mine to their email and if they know how to post they can, have had trouble on here when I have tried.
Thank you. I'll try him later today. I would like to get all three but may settle for the slate and aluminum.
Thanks for the info Beards and Hooks
I'm giving him a call latter also
Glass. And a aluminume call sounds of interest.........
Awesome guys sure you'll like them full of :turkey2:
He makes nice calls
Would love to see a picture of the call. You can send it to me and I'll post.
Here you go
Very nice, thank you.

Talked with him last night and ordered a slate and aluminum call.
Yeah they are nice calls for sure Bailey and i am sure you will like them Bill.
Great calls and well worth picking up one or two.
