I've been using cocobolo for my copper pot calls but it has become increasingly difficult to find it without spending a ton of money for a piece. I want to change to a different species that is more readily available. Does anybody have any suggestions as to a good replacement. Thanks in advance.

X2, I like maple too... But 90% of my copper calls are osage
I like jatoba a lot.
Osage was what I thought about using but I can't find pieces big enough to make a pot call without gluing some together. Where do you guys buy the Osage?
I get mine from Matt McLain, he's a member here, mmclain... Give him a shout and see if he has any.

I use a lot of osage, but have also used padauk and bubinga with good results. Generally a hard, dense wood will work well.
Thanks guys for the help.
90% of my copper pots are osage.....then cocobolo out of Mexico.....dense wood is a must no matter what you chose.
I just finished one up thats in Leopardwood and it sounds great...
I make a lot with Zebra wood and Osage
