Just checked. American chestnut and poplar are identical in hardness. Should be some call makers out there with some re-claimed chestnut.
I’ve always thought Wendell Rye (Lights Out) made a great 3” copper call. I say that to also say he’s had some great chestnut that was reclaimed from a building in Valle Crucis, NC that was built in the mid 1800s. Gorgeous wood.
