Ford Mangum makes a great Aluminum, given he's still making. I think he was like 92 or so when I got mine a few years ago!!

I agree with this. I own three of Ford's troughs and two are aluminum. They sound great.

You and I had a good chat about the merits of the super slate and super aluminum on the phone last year. The super aluminum and very often that wise old owl trough are two of my very favorites.

If you ever have any interest in selling that original old primos super slate I would definitely be interested.  I have the later one made from cedar but doesn’t near as good as the early ones.  I believe the early ones are made from mahogany.  So sweet!

They're in the bottom of the picture. I believe that the mahogany came later as the Heritage series and the acrylic I'm not sure where they fell into the mix.
