Ok, so I have been in the market for some slate, aluminum, or copper in some oddball sizes for about 3 months now. I haven't been able to find anything and have contacted everyone that's been suggested. So, I took the other suggestion and got a piece of slate tile.......

What the crap!?!?!?! This stuff will not split right  *aah* It's doing nuthin but breaking off in little chunks and is crooked as a goat trail.

Anyone got any other suggestions?

Here's what I'm doing. I'm making a "pot" call out of a fence post. Yeah, I know now that someone else already does this.... here's the thing, didn't know it before I started and I HAVE to finish a project before I move to another. This will be my first self made call and it's killing me! I don't even care if it calls a donkey at this point  *wha*

Thanks Big Tom, think I just got the right answer on what to do.

I tried those guys and they wanted WAY to much $$$ for what I needed. Let's just say they didn't want to mess with a little fish.
