I own and abuse Chester CopperPot - and that is the name I gave my Prairie Copper Pot call made by Larry Gresser!
Condition the pot the same you woudl any slate call - Sand in only one direction. I use a small piece of Emery cloth to keep the surface usable......
Once in a great while I may lightly sand the tip of my striker as I use several differrent wood types to give me the sound I am after.
Here is Good Ole Chester Copperpot's work this year!
Say it with me - "Hey you guys!" (Insert taken fromthe movie "Goonies!")
