Cherry aluminum. It flat kills turkeys. Still the very best aluminum out there in my opinion.

Cherry aluminum, Cherry slate, and Maple slate are great. But my favorite is a Walnut glass over glass with a gobbler bust picture on the soundboard.

Walnut double glass and cherry slate are my favorites. The walnut glass over slate is a very nice call.

Great question, Footballer. I was wondering that myself.
So I set to YouTube to try and find some sounds and here's his page:

I have his cherry aluminum over slate and it's a sharp sounding call.
I had question though how does his numbering system work? Mine is numbered 330 and is from December 2015 but I see one postered here from March of '16 with 292 on it?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/c5f99fb6405f8fcb13db2a1e8b089c17.jpg)

Lol looks like I have to add an Osage glass to my order now! How does Paul do it does he call after the calls are done or before to let you know?

Unless your buddy's,,I don't think he allows you to add to your existing order,,I originally got on his list for one call then and this spring inquired about getting a different one added. He said that's he's only allowing the original order amount.

I ordered 4 calls when I talked to him 2 years ago he said you can add to your order if you wanted. Maybe be changed that. Luckily I left a tbd on the 4th call for whatever new combo he had when I'm up

I am fortunate to own a bunch of pots from Paul. For slate I like his maple, for crystal his walnut crystal over slate. For glass his walnut glass over glass and for aluminum his cherry.

Out of all the pots I tried in the silent auction, IMO I liked the way that his sounded the best....but there were alot of really really really other good ones out there as well.
