Feedback Wanted

My favorite was the second one. Really rolls over nice for 2 tones on the yelps. I wouldn't hesitate to take that one in the woods on any hunt. The first one was really nice as well. I didn't care for the 3rd one. It will work, but the 2nd was head and shoulders above.

Great job making those pots yourself. Cool hobby!

String ....the aluminum sounds fantastic.

I admit I'm a "potcallaholoic" so if you decide to sell any of these, I'd definitely love to be on the list for an aluminum over glass.
 
I listened to the videos 4 times just like I was judging a competition, and here is what my ears heard:

Yelping: Walnut, Aluminum, Maple
Clucking: Maple, Walnut, Aluminum
Cutting: Maple, Walnut, Aluminum
Purring: Walnut, Maple, Aluminum
Roll Over: Walnut, Maple, Aluminum
Nasally Sound: Aluminum, Maple, Walnut
Locating Ability: Aluminum, Maple, Walnut

For the majority of my up close and personal woods hunting, I would choose the Walnut Slate, but the Maple is the best "all around" to my ears, and the Aluminum reminds me of a nasally run and gun/locator style call.

You are off to a great start Mark, big kudos to you. Did you turn the strikers too?

Thank you. Once I really get the hang of it and find the right combos, I'll start selling a few. I've got a couple walnut pots drying right now that will be aluminum over slate and aluminum over aluminum. I'm curious to hear the difference in sound.

Thank you, Andy. That is an excellent review! I did turn those strikers. I'm still trying to find the design I like the best. I do like a shorter striker in the 6.5 inch range.

I'm trying a maple double slate next. I'm trying to get a mellow, throaty sound with good volume with my slate.

The Walnut slate with Hickory striker for me...they all sound very good.

Walnut has always been a favorite for me, however, I have a cedar box that sounds good.
