WHO MAKES THE BEST REAL HEN SOUNDING CUSTOM BOX CALL

My #1 box at this point is a long box from Russell Beard (Beard Hunter Turkey Calls), I'd like to pick up a short box from Mr. Bob Harwell before spring as well if I have the extra money.

I've seen a lot of calls that look great that don't have a turkey sound anywhere in them, and that's one thing I would certainly look out for when buying a box call.  This is why I prefer to run any box I can before I buy, because even two made of the same materials won't always sound the same.

There's so many outstanding call makers out there who makes great calls... My favorite short boxes are made by Al and Josh Shoemaker (SS Custom Calls). I also really like my short boxes from Bob Harwell, Scott Witter, and Tim Bullock... My favorite long box is a cedar over butternut from Jeff McKamey (Twisting Creek Calls)

Can not go wrong with box calls made from any of these guys you mentioned.

He isn't going to say so for obvious reasons, but Mr. ncturkey builds one heck of a great sounding and looking box call as well.

yes I consider him to be a custom callmaker.  In my mind his boxes are just ok, not bad or terrible just average.  He is getting better every year with the boxes though.
