So I'm going to buy a green slate which one to buy ... Halloran or lonzos .. both good calls . anyone for a comment .
Dustin Jones or Mark Cornelius In a walnut pot
Brad Roberts green slate in a cedar pot is a smoker. As this pot gets into more guys hands, I bet you will hear lot more about it on here. Never was much for slate, but this one totally changed my mind.
I own/did own the MAC, Blackstone, and Halloran green slates.

This right here. I like it better than my Blackstone. However I do have one in bulletwood coming from Lon. My Roberts cedar is in my vest.
John Sinclair makes a really nice one
I love my Halloran green slate it will be in my best. I also have a Strawser Padauk green slate coming and a Cornelius Walnut on order.
Well i bought a halloran and im getting Lon to make me one in the bullet tree wood

The Brad Roberts Green Slate in Cedar is the one you want. It is very very good!
What's the soundboard on the Roberts

I have a Sinclair green slate over glass in a Kingwood pot that looks and sounds great.
The green slate seems to be a game changer. I own a halloran and bullet tree from Lon and I like Lon's better. Who was the first to start using green slate? Is it going to be around long?

X2!! Love my Drop Dead Woodsman slate! And that would be my suggestion but sounds like you already have some good ones on the way. The green slate surface really shines in the woods plays super consistant, needs less conditioning, and is more "forgiving" in humid conditions than regular slate, IMO.
Can't wait for the Cody drop dead to show up tomorrow. I had the Halloran green slate and Roberts in cedar 2 sider I just sent out in a trades. Both are great sounding calls. Got a Blackstone green slate ordered.

I just got this same exact call in the mail today and I'm blown away. It's my first Blackstone call and my first green slate and it's a lead off hitter for sure. This is an outstanding call!

Just got mine too. A little higher pitched than I like for a slate but man it runs well. Also got the Drop Dead Cody slate which is a dandy pot.

Man the one I had was a 2 sided pot. Sounded great I just couldn't run it loud and soft with a consistent yelp.

That will be my next pot in green slate if I get another one.

Got a Sinclair green slate heading my way in a purple heart pot. John was more than helpful with some advice on different woods and soundboards to help me with the sound I am looking for.

Does he do his waterproofing on the green slate?
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
I am not sure if he does or not. It's my first purchase from him. He has been very responsive by emails and a pleasure to deal with.

Yep...he can do that to the green slate on request.
