Title: Favorite Striker Wood for Crystal?
Post by: fenderhunt4 on February 14, 2014, 05:53:35 PM
I'm curious to know what you guys have been using for strikers on crystal pot calls? What wood types have you been using and what kind of sound are you getting (clear, raspy, etc)?

I used a Harold Fowler cherry on my Crystal Mistress last year with great results. It is high pitched with a raspy finish that really sounded great to the birds I killed.

Dymondwood is the best. I also use padauk when I want to clear it up.
