I had to post this paddle pot call again. I think Chuck Anderson posted a picture of it before he sent it to me. It is a crotch walnut slate over slate. Paired with the Gib Ott Plum striker it will be a killer. Chuck never ceases to amaze me with his woodworking talent. Thanks again my friend for such a fine call.

That sure is a beautiful call, but I am at a loss as to why a handle was added....other than for aesthetics.
Congrats! *up* *up* *up*

I'm with you Bill. Even the aesthetics doesn't make sense, only makes it cumbersome to carry. IMO
Congrats Rickey!

It is a beautiful piece of wood. I'm sure it sounds good.

I see the "Rat Pack" has to be critical of Chuck and his work anytime they can. I may not be the greatest turkey hunter in the world but I own and have run a few calls in my life, and a pot call is like a box call. I explained this to one of the posters recently. You get different sounds on the box call depending on where you hold the lid and also the box in the off hand. You get different sounds with the pot call if you cup it, hold it around its edge, or hold the handle away from your hand. The sound is not muffled when played by holding the handle.

If you took my post as being critical, of you or Chuck, I apologize. It wasn't meant that way!

Rickey your very welcome .You are 100 % right about running that call .When Scott was here last spring i tree talked the gobbler with that call hoping for the right fly down and he came down and walked in and Scott put the hammer down on him .he never new the pot had a handle it did put a handle on our hunt .this is the bird that died to the pot call

I don't use a pot call but if I did, I'd want a handle on mine to get it out of my pocket easy and without touching the surface. I guess it's a good thing we aren't all alike. Life would be such a bore *cheers*

David makes a good point and up till now I hadn't thought of it that way, but it does make sense. To me a callmaker should always continue to try new and different things, if by chance they could make a call sound and or look better, or provide more diversity for the hunter to run the call easier and/or add more to his or her arsenal of sounds to bring the bird to the gun.
In this case, since I did run the call before, during and after the hunt, I was surprised when I first saw it, but when I held it, even though I am used to running and holding a pot call that is normally round and has no handle, I figured what the heck, how 'bad' could it be, well, it isn't 'bad' at all and as a matter of fact when running the call after the hunt I did more trial and error by listening to Chuck run the call by holding the handle and by holding the rim of the pot portion. It was clear that the sound did resonant better when he held the handle and when he held the pot it was quieter and more subtle, but that was intentional in for the case of the hunt this was what was called for. Chuck initially rain the call for some soft tree talk and we got a great response. After the bird hit the ground from the roost we waited about 10 minutes and listened. I then ran it only by giving 3-5 clucks and holding the handle, again we got a great response and we knoew then the bird had committed to us and the call was put down.
If I had to guess, Chuck will probably only build a few of these unique calls, but I could be wrong, the point is and as do many callmakers he was experimenting and keeping it fresh and as a fellow callmaker I thought this was cool. The 2 pics attached were taken just moments after the kill.
