For me its hickory. It plays well for me on just about any surface. I always have a hickory with me. 2nd would be rosewood.

Hickory is hard to beat, but rarely carry one. I have a couple favorites for glass and slate, both whittled by hand. The first is osage and the second is maple. I wouldn't trade anything for those two strikers.
A very close third is walnut, I love the sound of purrs and clucks on a small slate with a walnut striker.

Snakewood and diamond wood. They both seem to run very well on all surfaces.

Purpleheart for glass and slate and also diamondwood for both, a diamondwood will bring out the rasp more and the purpleheart a little cleaner sound. Scoot

I agree with Scoot but would add black locust.

I wouldn't set foot into the woods without a Dymondwood, Purpleheart, Blk Locust, Olivewood and a Chechen. Those 5 will play on any surface in a pot call.

For me, on my slates it always red wood in corn cob, and willow in a corn cob, and a two piece oak. Glass for me is two piece oak, oak in a corn cob, and hickory in a corn cob. Somehow I have hung onto my willow and red wood strikers over 30 years. Been lucky not to have lost at least one of them.

I prefer Black Locust for both.
No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.
