Preciate it, Holdren! Finally got it finished. I like to let the pots sit in the house for at least a day before I glue in anything. That way if the wood is going to cup I'll be able to put it back on the lathe. Hasn't happened so far, using wood with a moisture content of around 6% helps.

Man that wood sure makes a pretty call.

He wants a soft talker for tree yelps and such. I came up with a new design for my sound holes on this pot. Putting in a slate sound board instead of glass should quiet the call down some.

Interesting, thanks for sharing. I hope it works out for you both.

Thanks fellas! I'm chomping at the bit to run this thing, but it'll be a couple days.

Your craftsmanship and dedication just keep getting better. Definitely shows in the finished product.

That's Austin's 3". The other pot has already found a home, just hasn't been hand delivered yet.

Padauk slate over glass, and walnut glass over glass. Both running with a two piece webb wood striker that will come with some of my calls.
