I'm looking for some input on a red slate. I'm torn between a maple and persimmon pot. Which do you all prefer and who do you suggest? Any and all help greatly appreciated!!

Persimmon ... Never cared for maple in anything myself ...

Larry Halford's persimmon/red slate is phenomenal.

With red slate, persimmon just seems to fit.

Maple is awesome and under appreciated, I love it

I like my Persimmon slate set by Mark Cunningham AKA Long Hunter Custom Calls.

I have one of Mark's persimmon pots with a red slate. It's a great call that I don't use just for the fact I have too many to choose from haha. Definitely a good choice.

Both are hard, but I like maple.

I prefer persimmon, but maple makes a good slate too. Under rated imo.

I agree, not only in pots but boxes also.
