tscott...you make pots?? how do you make them?? on a lathe??? im definently thinking hard of getting a lathe to turn strikers but id like to make wood pots too..i think a lathe will do it but im not sure..i cant really justify buying a lathe to turn strikers when i can do it by hand..but if i can turn pots and make the whole call they will sell alot better then just a striker...the main purpose would be for my own calls but to get my worth out of it id sell a few...if i can make pots on a lathe im more then likely buying one...i just cant see how it works on a lathe but i duno how else you could make a pot?? thanx.....
