I started turning my own calls a few weeks ago and finally have a few I'd hunt with. My garage is full of sawdust and I've loved every second of it. I'm still experimenting with design and soundboard/surface combos. Let me know what you think about these 3 combos.

-Black anodized aluminum over glass in walnut pot

-Slate over glass in walnut pot

-Slate over glass in maple pot

You can hear a bird gobble after I finish running the aluminum. The 3rd pot is the maple slate (I said walnut maple for some reason).

These calls were turned on a lathe and not just assembled.

Any feedback is appreciated.

Can't really tell...maybe you should send me one for a couple years to check it out :tu:

They sound great! Especially the aluminum.
 
Hard to tell 100% in the video but I'd hunt with any of the 3. The maple to me sounded the best of the slate for the pitch I like and sounds a tad higher pitched then some slates I hear which I like

The aluminum sounded very very good and I don't normally like aluminum
 
Thanks guys! The aluminum and maple slate are my favorite. I still need to make a few tweaks.

Thanks! I added a soundfile of just the maple slate to the original post. It's my favorite slate combo so far.

I agree that the aluminum sounds absolutely phenomenal. The maple slate sounds great as well. You should put up a sound file running the black locust striker also. BTW, great calling.

If you can find some tulipwood, turn a striker from that. It will blow your mind on those calls. I drive by woodcraft all the time and will look to see if they have some this week.

I appreciate it! I have a Fred Cox tulipwood that sounds awesome on aluminum calls. I'm staying away from the expensive exotics until I really get it down.

Thanks, buddy! You've been a valuable resource. I have a box full of duds that are ready for a good fire!
