How much money are you willing to spend and how much time are you willing to wait for it?

Regardless of how much or wait time the best on the market is either a Scott Bashore or a mike lapp  Jeff mccamey and tim bullock ain't far back.

Don't know if there is a best box out there, so many great ones  but Jerry Zebro,  Marlin Watkins and Jeff McKamey make fine short boxes.  Scott Hembrook (WillowRidgeCalls) makes a Gibson box that is very reasonable that is awesome.  Scoot

I looked at each site listed here. There are some very beautifully made calls here. I really like the Zebro and the Baublit.  May have to get me one... Or two...

I really like the sites that have sound files so you can hear the different sounds of the different wood.

I just recieved two box calls from Jerry Zebro, that are awesome sounding and beautifuly made. His calls are reasonably priced for the quality of his calls. Give him a call @ 715-505-3324.
