Let's see your Marlin Watkins boxes
« on: September 04, 2018, 06:43:13 PM »
Marlin is by far my favorite box call maker and I love seeing his boxes. Let's see everyone's Watkins boxes! Here are mine starting from the top, kwila/poplar, purple heart/sycamore, Mora/Walnut, bloodwood/butternut, zircote/poplar, Snakewood/Holly, yellowheart/black limba, macassar ebony/spalted apple and all Walnut 30 check pattern.

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!!!!

Great looking calls/collection.

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