Marlin just sent mine out today!  Bloodwood over butternut. Unreal!!!!  He sent me a recording of him playing it - it's truly an amazing thing he does with those calls! I'll post a pic when it arrives!!  He said it was one he personally loved but he was happy I was so excited to get a call from him he sent that call! WHOO hoo!

Your post is pure wood! 

Love all those calls!!!!

Don't hold me to it, but I BELIEVE he told me it doesn't work in a long box.
