There's something about calls made out of wormy wood that's quite appealing. Spalted or very knotty woods too, unique, interesting calls with plenty of character. In most other cases these woods would be considered defective, but not for us turkey hunters. Post some of yours favorites or maybe describe them if you can't post a picture.

Brad Roberts Wormy Black Limba Bronzed Glass over Aluminum.
The worms brought out some crazy orange coloration in the Limba streaking and where the worm holes tunneled through the wood. This call sounds better than it looks, which says a lot. It's easily one of the best pot calls I've ever played, and paired with Jeff's carbon she can whisper or she can scream.
