Title: Let's See Your Most Beautiful Pot Call
Post by: hunter22 on May 01, 2016, 08:28:47 PM
Show the pot call you consider your most beautiful. Not which one sounds the best or has called in the most gobblers. Simply wanting to see those fine looking pots. I consider the radical Bubinga made by Gary Anderson of Daybreak Calls as mine.

If I did, you'd be the first I'd contact. I don't actually even carry a slate and I've only got one period. Well, two actually but they're the same design. That's changing later though. Lonnie Sneed is building one for me. Apologies for hijacking the thread fellas. Have at it.

While I'm not an overt fan of laminated calls, this one strikes my attention every time I see it. Frank Kruer copper pot. Most beautiful call I've ever had is by far the one I regret selling the most. It was a Tim Sanford curly koa aluminum.

Never was really concerned about the looks as much as the sound but here's my Yingling double sided copper/slate that I've always thought was a pretty call. I think the wood is maple burl.

First call my buddy Dennis ever turned.  It purrs something sweet.  Killed a dandy with it first time I used it and then retired it.  Here's a pic of the call and striker and the display I made for it.  Pot rests on the bird's hooks!
