today i decided to add to my arsnol i need a few more good friction calls..i have a ol yeller with a slat-ek surface and a cody envy single glass...i want a good slate..and looking at some 50 and up i was thinking...i love making strikers...why not order the stuff and make my own way cheaper and make it look way better? does the type of pot matter at all for sound?? i was thinking of making one with a zebra wood pot just because it looks cool and maybe a sassafrass..both will be stained green with my gree minwax and polyurathyn coated after wards..and does the slate over slate or slate over glass or glass over glass make a diffrent sound or is it just a gimmic so to speak?? i was thinking of making one a double glass and the other a slate over glass but dont know with the extra glass and slate is needed...what are your thoughts on that?? also anybody know any good sites that sell wood pots...glass...slate alumanum brass or anything like that that might be useful to me?? i got grassycreek and customsawing..any others i should check out?? thanx alot..
