Just wanted to share some pics of a new call I’ve recently started making.

Thanks!

Top to bottom calls are walnut, osage, cherry and cedar.  They have a nice mellow purr and a great tree yelp

Started working on a few more cherry pots as well as some old cypress. All my wood is sourced locally from Mississippi

What diameter are they? The picture to me looks like they are tiny.

I use a 2.25” slate in them

Here’s a picture compared to a standard 3.5” pot call

Also some recent artwork I’ve done on strikers that are paired with the pot.

Thanks, that walnut has such a deep lustrous color and such a great grain to it it makes it very, very pretty.

Just got a purr pot from Evan.....man, this thing is the real deal...as soft, hollow and whispy as the real thing!

Ive always thought i was pretty decent making purrs and clucks with a regular ol slate, untill now....this cal is the real deal....the sound is natural and pure!

Thanks much Evan!!
Great design!
