Billy White has sold a few of his cackle boxes on EBay here lately . I have one with a Purple Heart lid and it sounds really nice . I typically use it more on windy days as it is louder than my go to call but it sounds nice when calling softer .

Steve Mann Cedar over Yellow Poplar.  I also have Mann Cedar over Black Walnut that is a close second.

Don Watkins, Ernie Fetters, Russell Beard and a gentleman who's name I can't recall right now but many will remember his video that had the word Lightning i.n the title. There is a picture of him and I think Don Williams sitting together and one has a card up that says Advise $1.00 the other had a card that says Good Advice $1.50 hoping someone can help me this name. Edit: Ralph Snodgrass is who I was trying to remember.

Think your thinking of Ralph Snodgrass Steve. I only have a few longboxes Rick Harro, Steve Mann, Lonnie Mabry and Ernie Fetters all make great ones IMO.

Yep, that's who it was, thanks.  I could have sworn I had edited that in there.

Thanks for all of the replies. I ended up ordering a box from Mr Fetters. His choice on wood. Looking forward to playing it!

I got one in the mail from Jeff Mckamey yesterday and it is killer. Bloodwood over butternut.

I am not that experienced with a long box but I found it to be super easy to play.

Jeff's boxes are outstanding. And built by a good guy, too.
