Looking to order a few more from him and looking for opinions.

Leaning toward a 2 piece of Ebony and something as the top and tulipwood and something as the top. Anyone run these and have suggestions on the top part or overall?

Do not have them but plan on getting a tulipwood in the near future. I suggest calling Mr. Fowler and speaking with him. Tell him what you are looking for and he will help you, it is worth the time to speak with him.

Makes sense. Most of my 2 pieces have an Osage top

Just saw Harold at a show in Perry, GA. He said to get his tulipwood while you can. Getting scarce.
Give him a call. And check out his high end 5 piece strikers. You can get some wicked combinations.

I have tulipwood with a hickory top that I absolutely love it's my second favorite next to a ipe with a hickory top

Happy hooker

Do you guys have a thought on which one of his strikers or combination s will mellow out a Crystal call that's high pitched,,

bowbird87

Osage over snakewood
Tulipwood
Ipe
Black locust

These are a few of my favorites

Tulipwood is awesome, same for snakewood.

Get a one piece tulipwood you won't be sorry. It's probably one the the prettiest strikers I got besides his one piece Mac ebony

For me I use a very dense wood like ebony and even Osage to tone the pitch down some. Others like pink ivory or ironwood are other options.
