There was a guy on here last year that has been mentored by Mr. Gibson and was making/selling some Gibson style pots. His name on OG is Weathered-Branch.

After reading and responding to this thread, I started working with the Gibson slate today - it's been a while. I tried a JLH frogwood striker that I got recently and it sounds better than the original striker. I think this pairing will see some hunting action this spring when I want a change up call.
