I bought a bunch of old slate shingles does anyone know if these are good for making calls or not?
Thanks

they are probably to thick, put them on Craig's list.
You can get pre-cut slate from Penn Big Bed Slate for under $1.50 each. The work involved in cutting/splitting shingles isn't worth the extra effort to me.
I have seen old slate shingles used as a neat "canvas" for paintings of wildlife, etc.
yep, I agree with Wendell, I have a box (65-70) lbs., and I am going to use it for painting and laser work. I have split it and sanded it down to make a couple jet calls, but that is it.
