And finally new catogory double sided pot call...this was the most difficult call I made simply because I'd never made 1. Came up with how I wanted to go about it and turned out pritty slick ceramic and slate

Wheh! Those are some nice calls right there!
They all look like winners to me bud! Good Luck with them!
:icon_thumright: REALLY REALLY A BUNCH OF NICE LOOKING CALLS. :icon_thumright:
Your double sided pot call is a nice design. I think most people entering this category are simply going to make a very large single hole on the bottom of the pot and play the bottom of the soundboard. It's nice to see such a unique call is this category.

Thank you sir...I had never sat down and made a double sided pot call and to be honest didn't really have a exact way to do it. This call doesn't have sound boards like a typical pot call would. I purposely left them out because I didn't want them to limit my design. I did intergrate a unique design feature and it's the first 1 I've ever done so hopefully the judges like how it sounds....I sure do!!!!
Very clean work! and I am sure that is the key to a successful trip to the Nationals! Those acrylic calls (especially the purple) are top notch quality work, not to take anything away from your wooden calls! The pot call is an eye candy love those side ports, you should raise a few eye brows in Nashville good luck! Pappy
Sweet looking calls Mac! Good luck!!!
