When you quit learning from turkey hunting, your doing something wrong!

Honestly walnut or Padauk in aluminum over glass should do the trick. Birch top for the striker

Yellow heart or walnut for the pot. If you want a good mellowed sound I would say slate for a sound board and you want a higher pitch I would go glass . As far as a head for your striker , it comes down to how heavy you like your strikers. Personally I perfer a 1 piece striker on most of my pots. It is sooo many wood combos out that its hard to say what makes the best. In my experience , the denser woods make great pots for aluminum.

My advice is pick a call maker.  Call him and talk.  He and you need to determine what a turkey sounds like to you.  Then let him build you a call out of whatever woods to match that sound.

IMO    3 woods that will never fail to produce a good turkey call black cherry ,,, hard maple and walnut as for the aluminum   want a higher pitched call use glass as sound board like a deeper raspier sound use slate or wood sound board
Not taking orders for calls at this time ,,,but my have some on hand  ,,,I Dont sell strikers
I do like copper pot calls,,,,Get them While u can

Thanks for the advice, ill def either contact jimmy Schaffer and just get a atomic 13 or call brookside and use yalls input and should come up with a good call. Sounds like walnut and cherry are staple call pots.
