Title: Padauk glass over slate
Post by: Gobbler2577 on July 20, 2018, 11:43:27 AM

So, a little over four years ago I decided I was going to learn to build pot calls. I started building Cost style boxes in '99 and more than anything just wanted a change of pace. Little did I know how slow I would learn and how quickly I would become obsessed. Between '99 and 2014 every bird I killed was called with a box I built. I was never a pot guy. But that quickly changed. With the exception of one Nebraska turkey I haven't used a box to kill a bird since. I had some success building pots early, but I had a LOT more failures than successes. I suppose you could say I have learned really well how not to build a pot call. About 2 years ago I finally began to build a decent call consistently but am always trying to learn more. I thought I'd post a few here and see what kind of feedback I get. If you think it's bad say so, but at least be constructive and say why it's bad. Thanks for the time.

Nice call is that a green slate sound board? It looks green on my phone anyway. That's a real good sound and look.

No it's grey slate. I've not found any 3" green.
