Title: Turkey calls
Post by: timberjack86 on February 13, 2014, 06:11:43 PM
Heres a couple pot calls I have built. I am trying to learn a little bit about it before I bite the bullet and buy a lathe. Cherry slate and oak crystal.(http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h351/timberjack86/turkeycalls002_zpse5d6e6d0.jpg) (http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/timberjack86/media/turkeycalls002_zpse5d6e6d0.jpg.html)

looking good. Nothing like calling in a bird with a call you made.

Did you turn the pots yourself or did you purchase them as a kit?

Just a tip... Get yourself an inexpensive set of calipers and jot down all the specs of your purchased pots. That will Really help in the learning curve.  When you turn your own pot, you will be surprised how small dimension changes can effect the final sound.   I think John (Bornagain64) will agree with me.  We have trashed our fair share of pot calls.   Lol
