I'm on his list, so I'm watching this one. TJ seems like a really nice and helpful dude.

Depends on the sound your looking for but my favorites from him so far are hophorn/cedar and walnut/mineral stained poplar. He will be able to suggest some combos to you based on the sound your looking for.

In my arsenal are Hophorn/Mineral Poplar, Padauk/ Butternut & Serviceberry/Mahogany. Three different boxes with six different woods yielding bunches of different turkeys. Your choices are endless, and he will do his part to supply you with suggestions in building you a product with "that sound" the turkeys want and the "looks" you want in a call. You've already made one of the best choices you could make in Call Makers, ya'll can easily work out the rest. Have fun!

Just tell him what sound you are looking for but I can promise you one thing, if it comes out of his shop it's going to be a really good one!

I got a walnut over cedar a little while back that sounds crazy good. He told me he loves cedar boxes.

I have walnut/cedar and walnut/butternut. Both are excellent
He sends several sound files of calls and you pick

Like others have said, tell him what sound you are looking for and he'll make you a good one. I like his Padauk Over butternut.

I agree 100% with Tom. Aside from being able to run a bunch of combinations and pick one, I've always told the call maker to "make me what YOU like". I've never been disappointed.

Just got a Yellowheart/Butternut combo from TJ.  It's quite possibly the best sounding box I own, and that's over some real big names.  TJ will change and work out anything you want if it's not exactly what you want.  Super guy!

I have several calls from TJ and like them all.

But his hophorn/walnut and hophorn/mineral poplar have been deadly on Easterns in NC. I keep one in my vest! I know that he has other Materials that produce the same sound as my hophorn calls and I would trust him.

Having said that, TJ has a great ear and can get you the sound that you are looking for. He's a great guy and will really work hard to get you what you want. You will not be disappointed.
