I've decided I want to add a Dawkins aluminum to the arsenal. I'm not sure I can have one built in time for the 2016 season. So, if anybody has one that they are thinking about getting rid of, I'm interested in buying it.

Thanks,
Steve

You wont be sorry....I'd give him a call and if the plastic pot is all he has don't hesitate, ol' gobblers will never be able to tell the difference.

I talked to him this evening and got on the list (hopefully for next week as he is working on a batch) for a walnut pot call. Talk about a super nice guy to do business with!
 
I own a lot of custom pot calls, but Darrin's calls are the only ones I take to the woods religiously. Good choice Steve and as you said, Darrin is about as good a fella as one could ask for.
 
I talked to Darrin last night, talk about a great guy! I ordered a plastic pot with rolled aluminum surface. Also got on his waiting list for a box call.

What is the difference in his anodized aluminum pot and the stoned aluminum pot???

Two different finishes on the aluminum. The older traditional anodized is not as loud and raspy, but it is more prone to slippage, especially if you place a lot of downward pressure on the striker. The newer stoned aluminum grips better with less chance of slippage, but it does sound louder and raspier to my ears, but it sounds darn good to my ears as well. I will have a better opinion to share once this spring season is over and I have tested the new one on the ultimate judge in the woods, the eastern wild turkey.

X2. I was not a fan of his slick anodized aluminum, but I love the stoned aluminum. It can certainly get loud and raspy, but I've found that a yellowheart striker tones it down quite a bit and takes a lot of the rasp out.
