Call recommendations

[calebric85]

I'm looking to make my daddy a pot call for his birthday. He doesn't have a glass pot, and likes the sound they make. Since I don't have a lathe, I bought a precut 3.5" bocote pot from brook side game calls. I have the glass but am stumped on what sound board material and size to pick to make the best sounding call I can possibly put together. Also any advice on the best way to finish the actual bocote pot. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

There's kits on eBay  all you do is sand it and put a finish on it

I've made a few already, and are using leftover stuff. I have the pot and playing surface. I'm just seeing if anyone had made a bocote glass pot and what size and material sound board would make the best sound

if using a 3.5 play surface use a 3in sound board i would try a glass sound board   ,,, as for finish use a minwax lacquer spray and if wanted use sanding sealer first  bocote is oily wood  first 2 light coats   can buy spray cans lowes   sand between each coat with 320 grit paper
