Here's 30 calls and a bunch of strikers ready for the upcoming season. I'll try to add a couple of photos to show the texturing I've added this year. Sorry about the bluring of the photo of the 30 pots. I was holding the camera and shaking from the cold. It takes my two propane heaters a while to warm up the shop.

I'm not much of a photographer but the rest were taken with camera mounted on a tripod. If I added too many I apologize. C&C always welcome

Wow! That is a bunch of turkey pots! That must have kept you busy for a little while at least, good job on them. I just got my first kits to try making these this week so will be giving this a try myself pretty soon. Oh and I think they raised the limit of photos up to 8 per post so your ok with that.

Thanks, Bob, i got the Sorby Texturing tool when Craft Supplies had a one day sale on dec. 29th. I think it was 15 or 20% off. This is all I've tried so far but I like the results.

Being from Alaska, and more recently Colorado, I have not had the opportunity to hunt turkey. Mind you, I have kept busy with hunting big game, and fishing for salmon and halibut... Anyway, I would love to hear some more about turkey hunting and the use of these pots.

Good looking pots there - I don't think that I have ever made that many of anything!

Thanks for your comments folks, I hope this will be enough to get through the spring season. I'm ready to move on to other things.
