Well guys, turkey season is over out here on the west coast so I've gone to back to making some calls. Here are two Bocote pots that I just finished. Another view. Also I'm putting the finishing touches on some Walnut box calls that I think sound awesome. I'll post some pictures when they are finished. Bill

Sweet I like that striker as well. How does it sound?

Tom and Ken, The calls sound great. The striker on the right I made for display purposes only. In order to make it into a working striker it needs to be lightened. The other striker sounds good. Although I prefer Zebrawood or Purpleheart strikers for most of my calls. Bill

Ken, Thats the interesting thing about making friction calls, If you have 5 people play the same call you will probably get 5 different opinions on which striker sounds best. Thats one reason I usually send a couple of strikers with each order. You are right about the canarywood it does have a nice sound. It would be my third choice behind zebrawood and purpleheart. Bill

Bill, I have one of your walnut calls w/slate I won here this year. It Is Awsum! I showed a friend and he is ordering one just like it. I am going to order a purpleheart striker for mine too. Seriously though, I can't wait untill next spring so I can really try it out. The notes are so natural and it is very playable. My model has the checkering on the back and around the pot which looks very custom and is functional as well. When I hold this call it seems large but the checkering gives good purchase and makes it seem perfect. A very well crafted custom call. I have five box calls- I know I will be placing an order for one of yours. Thank you Bill for a very well made, great looking, super sounding pot call. I am so pleased I chose your call as my prize. It is a wonderful addition to my small collection. Mark
