Packmule got a good thing going with his "Two woods" post.

How about let's do a box call PICTURE THREAD ??

Let's see a pic of the VERY BEST sounding box calls you ever owned.  Not limited to one single box.  But, let's do one box per post.  A pic or pics of that one box and a full description.......maker.......wood combo......any side notes or sentimentalities.

See where it goes...........

Oh, this'll be fun....
We should get similar threads going in the pot calls, scratch box, trumpet/wingbone, etc. sections. I'm busy now but can do it later if no one beats me to it.

We should !!!

I screwed up and shoulda put this in the Box Call Forum where it belongs.    ::)

Taking my ear and the gobblers ear into account, I'd go with my all walnut from TJ Johnson.
I've killed birds in the three states I hunt with it (VT, NH, and NY), and have had multiple gobbler days with it as well.

My first submission is a Steve Mann cedar/mahogany paddle call. I bought this call used
in the classifieds on OG. I have 3 Mann paddles and they are all good but this call is exceptional.

#2 is an Ed Terefencko bloodwood/Limba. This is probably the best hunting call I've ever purchased. I usually buy 1 paddle a year from Ed, he's a fine call maker.....

TJs calls are all turkey. He is able to find some of the best looking walnut too. Look at that lid!

I am admittedly not a box call guy, but I did have a Hudson Hen Box years ago that I thought sounded really good.

I've got a Hudson Hen Box with a Dymondwood Lid and Limba Box that is killer and stays in my vest.

Snakewood over teak.  I've had hens pick up and fly to me.  Toms raced after them running in a half strut.
