Have any of you used any of the slate made of this material?
I've played with some but couldn't notice much of a "wow" sound difference more so than any other custom quality pots whether they made of aluminum, glass, slate, etc.

I think I just like to have or "collect" turkey calls for nostalgia more than sounds.

Just wanting some of yalls thoughts or experience.

Thanks.
 
I think it's another surface option. I make several calls and I think the color variations are tighter grained than some of the gray slate. I have got gray slate in with cool streaks as well.

I don't know that the surface gives the wow factor as much as internal construction. I've made a few calls that you can feel sing in your hand. I don't know what was different about those, but it's hard to replicate even knowing how you made them.

Nice nice.

What all woods you like to work with?

I really like local hardwoods-walnut, persimmon, and cherry, etc.

I've been making a few out of sapele, zebrawood, and Padauk lately and experimenting with some laminates with purpleheart trim. I've been doing it for a while but don't have time like I used to!
