Rodney, I believe you have a Winner there.  I love that combo.  Gray Slate over glass in a Walnut pot.  You are definitely on the Right Track with your pots.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

My computer must have a bad speaker on it. It doesn't sound very good to me. ???

I'd kill a bird with that.

I guess that was not what was meant. You can kill a 2 year old rubbing a nail on a piece of tin on some days. I peesonally agree with some others here , it does not really sound good to me either. The question was asked so Im gonna be honest.

Maybe it is just the striker being used but I have to agree not a sound I would normally look for in a pot. I'm sure getting the right sound takes a lot of testing, I would keep tinkering with it.

You can't go by a video and also doesn't look like he is really cranking on the call that's why I really like to pick a call up and play it so I know what it really sounds like

I'd trust the gobblers' ears over anyone pecking on a keyboard. Like I said, I guarantee I could kill a bird with it, and if you can kill a bird with it what the hell else are you wanting out of a turkey call? Keep toying around with pedestal height and wall thickness and hole placement and you'll get the sound dialed in. Above all else, have fun doing it! I think it looks great.

Looks and sound ability are 2 different parts of a pot call.  Yes the pot call looks good , but the sound tone needs improving. He ask for opinions and that's what we all gave was our opinion , if you don't want opinions don't post the calls .. and as long as he asking for opinions, i will peck on this key board all i want. I agree NO need to get discouraged, just keep making improvements and for some of the ones who gave a honest opinion , i would trust their opinion. Again opinions vary..
