I have a Quaker Boy field grade boat paddle that is pushing 15 years old. It was fine when I originally bought it but just doesn't stack up to the great calls I now own. The body and paddle are both mahogany and I've recently been wondering if a new paddle would bring this call to life a bit. Was wondering if anyone has ever tried adding perhaps a purpleheart, yellowheart, maple or cedar paddle to an old production call and ever had it amount to anything. Thanks in advance for any thoughts you have on this idea.
I've done this a few times for friends. I'm constantly switching paddles/lids on my own calls that I hunt with. Let me know if you'd like me to give it a go on yours.
Thanks Mike, I'll probably get a hold of you soon, I appreciate the offer!
