Suggestions Needed

[bdirks]

I like pot calls and I am always trying something new or different. I am looking for my next call combination, call surface and soundboard. Here is what I have...
Slate over glass
Slate over slate
Slate over aluminum
Glass over glass
Glass over slate
Glass over wood (cherry)
Ceramic over glass
Crystal over Copper
Copper over acrylic
Stainless Steel over acrylic
Anodized Aluminum over acrylic
Green Slate over glass

Anyone try something different?

Titanium makes a unique sound. Comes in different combos. Makes great yelps, calls soft and loud. Take a look at it......good luck.....

I've built a few purr pots like this with a wood playing surface

Beauties, bet they sound great....

Have you tried it with no sound board

I'm a big fan of metal surfaces. I'd add something brass to the collection.

I would suggest red slate over slate or glass and a crystal over slate or aluminum.

I'd try a 3.25" assuming yours are all 3.5". And make it bead blasted glass over glass.

I much prefer the slightly smaller pot diameter. Easier to control, slightly sharper yelp.

Red slate over glass was a killer combo for me last season.

Looks like u got good many pots already ,,  always got remember even if same surface all calls from different builders  dont sound same  ,,case in point  recently had a fellow wanting a higher cleaner pitched call what he likes was a metal surface ,, in mean time texting back forth he says he likes a more of mellow slate but i had a green slate in very hard wood  sitting around i didnt care for was to high pitched for me so never sold it i tossed it in his box and tells me he realy liked the slate its more of a mellower tone then others he has ,,, so their u go u never know ,  listen to some soundfiles from makers and figure out sound u like

I'm a pot call guy as well.  I love the different sounds that call makers get from different woods, surfaces and internal geometry.  I have several different call makers calls along with numerous surfaces as well.  Darrin Dawkins makes an acrylic pot with a stoned aluminum playing surface and glass sound board that is pretty amazing.  My go to call is an acrylic pot with slate over glass with a dymondwood or laminated wood striker.  Not sure what is so special about this calls sound but it has brought many a bird to my gun barrel, which includes a Grand Slam to it's credit.  Good luck with your search.

I carry at least one slate, a ceramic, a glass over slate and recently got a brass pot from RCL calls that sounds really good when paired with Jeff Harrison's Tulipwood striker. I'm excited to try the brass out this Spring.

If you don't have a pot from Clay Townsend you need one and a few of his strikers! I just got a purple slate in a walnut pot and i have his osage glass call on the way! It will be my third him him all smokers!
