Hi everyone, it has been a while since I posted. A few months ago I was turning hollowforms which I often shared here. Then my wife's cousin asked me to make a turkey pot call for him. .....and that is where I have been spending my shop time!
For those not familiar with a turkey pot call, they are approximately 4+ inches in diameter and about an inch thick....give or take... The sound is produced by rubbing a dowel like striker on a friction surface....traditionally of slate, and now often glass, crystal, aluminum or copper and amplified and conditioned by internal soundboards. I thought I would share a few of the my latest......with pretty casual snapshots!
The first is of old, barn dried wormy Cherry with dual friction surfaces - etched glass and slate, the second is Mimosa showing the slate with glass on hidden surface, and the final is a work in progress of Chinaberry which will have a single friction surface.
Thanks for looking! - Arlan
