Title: Bill D. Barker Potcall
Post by: letinmfly on April 28, 2010, 01:39:41 PM: I was fortunate enough to win this call on ebay. It took second place at the Dixie Classic. The call is glass over slate and is a double sided pot. I believe the pot is Cypress and the striker Mahagony. I will contact Bill and get specifics on the call and update this thread at a later date. Bill was always a boxcall maker and just recently delved into potcalls. In a short period of time he has mastered these calls too!! This call is awesome!!! I highly recommend them!! *cheers*
The striker design is unique as well. It's actually a one piece striker with a removable top and the top has a rattle in it.
With the top on the sound is that an older hen and with the top off it is that of a young hen. Two different pitches with one striker.
