Ok guys, I want a good quality grey slate over glass, or even over whatever. I just want a quality grey slate pot with a nice matching striker. I want all of your feedback on call maker and why you like it best.

Everyone's opinions is welcomed and I know this is a bias question.

Ok 1,2,3 GO

If you like an old school sound , Eddie wynne. His persimmon or his zebrawood. His persimmon is a little clearer. I have killed turkeys with both. His one piece purple heart gets my nod. Scott Hock makes a good whiteoak pot . Difficult to come by, but paul platz anything all day. I have a slate over glass in yellowheart made by david tyree that's a killer. There are PLENTY of great ones out there.

I have a cherry and a maple platz that sound better than any I've heard, but they are next to impossible to get. Lonzo, Cornelius and Schaffer are all safe bets

Good choices especially the Platz.  Another name to consider is Dustin Jones.

My favorite slates are Eddie Wynne, Paul Platz, Lonzo, Darrin Dawkins walnut or plastic, Clint Corder.......

Said it before but here goes another shameless plug. Mike Yingling. Have one in an ingrown bark maple pot and it's solid as they come. Striker doesn't matter. Another good one, and I don't know the soundboard material, is Lonnie Sneed's hot hen.

Mike Yingling and Paul Platz are both excellent  makers of slate pots. Mike's  are fairly available.

I concur with Eddie Wynne & Paul Platz.......and will add Mike Yingling to the mix. Don't know much about Scott Hock.

Im a big Scott Hock fan and his name is the same on this forum. All the other call makers mentioned are good to great. There is one callmaker I don't think anyone mentioned and that is Bill Lyman. I have a killer slate over glass in a cedar pot I love. He is callermakerman on here.
