...call that is...A fellow working on my sisters house in PA mentioned he made custom calls, she mentioned her favorite brother(me) is a legendary turkey hunter, and presto, my lil niece picked out the piece of walnut and I got a great sounding slate turkey call for Xmas! :biggrin:

Sweet Looking Call :yoyo:
Nice looking call. He does nice work.
I have never been a slate fan but this one sounds awesome, very crisp and clear, has great tones all over the surface, I am impressed :biggrin:..I have alotttt of calls but no slate cuz every time I buy one if I don't like it i give it away, but this ones got a new home.
I've found that you can make a slate call that you don't like sound like one you will like just by switching out strikers. :biggrin:
You mean like these ? :wink:

Well yeah but,, uuhmmm ,,, but,,, well yeah!! :biggrin: :biggrin: You can NOT have enough strikers. :nono: :nono:
I like using the carbon ones on aluminum, makes your ears bleed :innocentwhistle: :biggrin:
I need to get back out to the garage & make a couple experimental strikers. I tried something the other day just outta WTH let's see if it'll work & liked it. :biggrin:
I use all kinds of weird stuff just to see what happens, sometimes they sound purty goot !..how about a double ender ...one striker with a tip on each end..then you could get 2 sounds from one striker :highclap:.BRILLIANT :yoyo:...or...1 striker with multiple tips you could insert, like with some screw drivers :eyebrow:..speaking of a double ender..traditionally like the strikers in the pic above, they all have handles, but you don't actually use the handle for anything really?...its begging to be made into a double striker..or a handle that is removable and put it on the striker tip your not using...ITS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER :bowingsmilie:
:laf: :laf: I was thinking about turning a double ended striker with the handle in the middle!! :alscalls: :alscalls: I'm also gonna try a whole different material that I've never seen used before too. I need's to gets me a drill bit 1st tho. :eyebrownod:
Join 2 different kinds of wood in the middle for a double headed 2 wood striker..."The Double Woody"...sell like hotcakes I bet :biggrin:..on a serious note I think thems some pretty good ideas I aint never seen anyone else building stuff like that :eyebrow:
:confused: How do you do it??!! :laf: :laf: That is exactly what I was gonna do. :alscalls: I'm sure somebody else has already done it tho...... I may have to look around & see if it's been done before......
I just think stuff up. as far as woodworking all I do is whittle with me pocket knife haha :biggrin:...I been turkey hunting over 20 years and got a lot of gear but in my travels I have never seen a 2 headed striker or a striker with the double wood thing...you better pounce on this, " The Double HaMeR"... :eyebrow: :yoyo:
:laf: :laf: @ the double HaMeR!! I was thinking more along the lines of the Twin HaMeR's!! :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
How about 4 strikers in one unit in an X pattern, like a tire iron? That would be cool as hedoublehockeysticks :biggrin:
:confused: Well I'm 1/2 way there!! :laf:
That's half the journey!...man its cold as hell here and mid January and I am already getting to thinking about fly rodding and spring turkey hunting :yoyo:
