Turkey Calls
Guild member since 2010
Now from award winning master call maker, Paul Meek, an innovator in the turkey making world for over 30 years, comes the Rock Pot. It’s completely different in shape and materials. The striking surface is made of rock; the pot made of several types of exotic and domestic woods. Each pot has a striker producing the best turkey sounds for that call. Each one is numbered, dated, and signed by Paul and comes with a certificate of authenticity, describing the type of wood and rock used in the call. Truly a one-of-a-kind turkey call.

Michael grew up in Mississippi, spending time many summers watching his grandfather work in his leather shop. When Michael received a woodcarving kit for Christmas in 2003, he immediately felt a connection to those days working with his grandfather, and a whole new world opened up before him. He began to consume every book he could find on the subject and taught himself the craft of woodcraft of woodcarving, using only hand tools. Michael draws his inspiration from many sources, including his upbringing in the rural south, Appalachian culture, and people he has met while riding his motorcycle or camping in the south. He’s been featured in “Catfish Alley “ and “ Mud and Magnolias” magazines. He’s also had “how to”article published in “Chip Chats” magazine. And been featured in several newspaper articles.
