I just got this Bloodwood over Walnut longbox from Al and Josh. Most of you know how hard it is to tune a Walnut box call. But when it is done right it makes one fine sounding call. This one is done right. Thanks again Al. I am also posting my other calls I have gotten from these two rednecks. They make some fine looking and sounding calls.

A very fine bunch of boxes Rickey!!!!!
That stack could keep me entertained for the better part of the day. Yep.
Nice stuff !!!
What about the longbox by SS you got from Mr. Curtis? It was black walnut and something I believe. Great calls from some great guys!

Donald---It is Kwila over Black Walnut. It is a fine sounding call. It and the Bloodwood are very similar in sound.

Donald---The Bloodwood over Walnut is every bit as good. I am sure Al can fix you up.
Nice bunch of calls!
Rickey you never seem to amaze me. Those are some sharp looking calls!

Another winner from Al. Great looking group of calls. Yes, them rednecks can build a good one.
Very nice group!!
What username do they go by on here? I need to get in contact with them. Thanks
They go by SS Calls.
Al & Josh Shoemaker
Glad you like the call Rickey! Man, you got some of our older one's there! Even one of the shrill shorty models. LOL
I don't know how I missed this thread when it was posted. Rickey has good taste in calls. It is true that a walnut box is a difficult thing to tune and pull off. The Shoemakers don't mess around and know what a turkey hen sounds like. Very nice an humble guys. I have a pretty decent assortment of various box calls and the only one I have from them is one of the best. It would be very fair to say that Al and Josh don't get enough credit even though they are highly decorated with awards and prestige. My simple little butternut/kwila field grade sounds better than some calls I have paid triple for. These calls posted are making me hungry......awesome.
