Mississippi Scratch Box
« on: September 10, 2020, 06:07:40 PM »
  I don't see Tom Crooks name mentioned on here a whole lot, Mississippi Scratch Boxes are great sounding and easy playing. I have picked some fine scratchers from him in the past 4 months. I have cherry, walnut, cedar, mahogany, and myrtle wood. Can't go wrong ordering from him good scratchers at a good price.

I will, paying 2 other things off right now so it will have to be after those are paid off.

Tom lives a couple of counties over from me and is a fine man who makes a fine call. I have one in mahogany and one in walnut, with a variety of strikers.

Hi, Jeff,
Your mahogany call should be pretty close to Oregon Myrtle in sound.  OM is more like walnut.  Has a bit more "bite."
I like the OM and walnut at the end of the season when the gobblers are listening for the young jennys that haven't been bred yet.
That being said, they are good calls all season in the right hands.  I still mourn the loss of a walnut scratch box that I left in the rain in Tombigbee River bottoms several years ago.  I notch the backbone of my calls with each kill, and that one was pretty darn hacked up when it perished!
