Our shop in Northeastern Washington is machining these pots and owl hooters to the exact tolerances of master call makers Steve Morgenstern and James Harrison. What does "Small Batch" mean exactly? While other call companies are looking to cut costs by sourcing cheaper materials and moving mass production overseas, here at Phelps we are doubling down on American craftsmanship. Paired with a laminated wood striker, the sounds from these small batch calls are sure to bring in the wisest old gobbler. The result, a Green Slate which gives a higher pitch tone yet still retains the throaty yet nasal quality of a real hen turkey, all while being easy to operate. Green Slate can only be found on the Vermont/New York border, and unlike other slate, it must be mined into a wet block and then kept wet until machined down into usable parts for turkey calls. When we asked Steve about what materials he would recommend most in a slate pot call he answered with no hesitation. Teak Wood and Green Slate! He explained that Teak is known for its ability to resist moisture due to it’s natural oils, superb stability and strength properties. Steve painstakingly assembled each call in his Kirksville, Missouri shop assuring the kind of quality he proudly puts his name on. While building these small batch pot calls, no shortcuts were taken. Turkey hunters have always expected the most authentic natural sounds from their calls, so we partnered with award winning competitive caller and call builder Steve Morgenstern.
