Hurricane Michael came through and left a lot of devastation in south Georgia. We had wind gusts to 115 mph. The number of pine and hardwood trees on the ground is unbelievable in the hard hit areas. I was cutting out trees that had fallen on some of my field roads and came across a nice, straight wild black cherry. I did not want to see it go to waste, so I cut it into three eight foot logs. I am going to take it to the sawyer in a couple of days and was wondering how thick to saw some boards that would be suitable for pot call blanks. I have made just about every kind of turkey call you can make, but I have never made pot calls. I want to cut some blanks from the boards in a year or so and have some calls made from some of the wood, maybe even trade off several blanks to someone for a call or two. So how thick should I have them sawed?
