Nice, how did it turn?
Not an easy turning piece and it smells like _hit. If you try this stuff make sure you have a respirator on. Well worth it when I finished it though. I'll wet sand the next one to clean it up nice.

LOL...Bill I was gonna ask ya if you carried toilet paper with ya to the shop, I know that stuff stinks....turned a lot when we made duck calls out of it....man she looks great though, I had a chunk of the black but ended up throwing it out as i never thought of turning a pot out of it...it was too thin for turning a barrel out of it...wished i still had it now....

Jack this has to be some of the nastiest smelling stuff that I've worked with. Grabs the tools while turning and you gotta take it slow as well. Call sound great and I would load a sound file but sound cloud is being a pain again. It won't let me record to the site. It only wants to allow me to upload a file.

tell me about it...I have never been able to upload a sound bite, not smarter then the computer I guess, don't matter I know your calls are sounders...wonder what kind of finish you gonna use? Mylands + CA?

No finish on this call. Just sanded it down to 400. I think wet sanding will bring out a better look on the next one.

That sounds real nice. Now if I can just get bill to make one for me

Looks good Bill.  I've heard of trumpets made out of it but that's the first pot call I've see.
I've cut a lot for coal mine electric panels.  Threw away a lot also.  Like Pappy, wish I'd have kept some.
No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

Steve most people don't know that this was developed for the electric industry. I think the bigger claim to fame is knife handles.  Micarta is very strong and almost has a tacky feel when wet. I think it makes a great pot call.
