Anyone like to use a ONE PIECE birch striker on a particular surface?  What are the tonal qualities of birch as a striker?
			
			
			
				Birch is really soft unless its been laminated and impregnated like Dymondwood.  Regular birch will produce nice soft calls.
			
			
			
				Ok, sounds like it might be a good striker on my slate call.  
I ordered a birch, yellow heart, and hickory striker from Wendell at Lights Out.  Can't wait to get them and try them out.
