I am going to try a double slate in a wenge pot to start with and I will experiment from there. My 11 year old daughter has a plan, LOL. I asked her if she knew what she wanted to do and she said, " I am making a slate over purpleheart sound board in a maple pot with a cherry striker with a corn cob top of course". I had no response except, " OK then, good luck". I hope it works, she sure talked a good story. Any more favorite pots, give me a shout. Thanks, Al Baker
