   bill,  when you condition your glass, do you just pick any spot to rough up  or do you know ahead of time where to rough up??? I also just started to make pot calls and i'm learning how to make them.. is there a need to do the whole piece of glass or just do wha you have been doing??? does it make a different??  chris

I've been doing it on the top side, above where I sign the call. Only reason is the buyer can see who made it. I Tried roughing them up all the way a round and really haven't seen where it makes a difference in sound. Also tried etching the glass with chemicals but have found it doesn't do as good a job as using a stone. It can be much neater etched but I want the owner to hear the best turkey sound as possible.
