I hope Richard doesn't mind me posting this.  About this time last year I was hunting in Florida and had the great pleasure of meeting Charlie Parrish.  Charlie is rightfully a legend in Osceola country and known for his turkey calls and especially his hen boxes and he asked if he could see the hen box I had with me, one from Richard Hudson in snakewood over black limba.  Charlie asked if he could run it and of course I said yes. And run it he did.  He then very gently handed it back and asked me if I could personally convey to Richard, for him, how remarkably fine he thought that hen box was.  And then he let me run his personal hunting hen box too.  Very cool.

With a hen box its not so much about the combo but the tuning. Matt is a great guy. Limba and Snakewood but i like Teak and Snakewood.

Snakewood/teak is awesome

I have 5 of Richard's and one on the way. Every time I get one, I think, I hope it's as good as the last one. They always are!
The last two he sent were snakewood over crabapple. I can't imagine a better call...
If you don't have one, do yourself a favor. You won't be sorry, trust me...

Five and one on the way. That's awesome.  I love my two and they have distinct sounds and both are great. Here's a sound file of another one of Richard's boxes.  This one is an old growth teak box with a Macassar ebony lid.  Lest there be any confusion, this is Richard running it not me.  The link was on here some time ago, another victim of the Photobucket block.  Reposting with Richard's permission.

Yeah, and they won't be the last...I absolutely LOVE Richard's calls. Seems like every one has a different personality and they're all gorgeous, as you've seen.
I have a rosewood over teak (mini), A snakewood over zebrawood (full size), a snakewood over crabapple (mini), a snakewood over crabapple (turpin style), a snakewood over crabapple full size at Kelly's for burning and a rosewood over english walnut (turpin style).
I have two more combinations in mind if Richard is willing...

Are there many call makers that make a hen box style call?
