I don't put as many out as the guys mentioned above but I actually have 3 Black Limba and Bloodwood boxes that are drying right now. They have Wenge inlays in them. 1 is already sold. If you're interested in seeing one or a sound file let me know.
I don't have a picture on my computer of that call but here's 2 others so you can see my style and work.

In that specific wood combination (bloodwood/limba), Frank Kruer or Jeff McKamey.

To save from repeating the many of the great names above, I'd also add Jerry "Dad" White and David Halloran to that list.

Even though it's been said a million times, SS boxes are great. In fact, when I ordered mine I just told Al to pick one for me. It's a great box for sure. Mike from Spring Creek makes a great box as well. I've got his bloodwood over cherry and it'll kill birds all day long. I plan to add a box and scratch box from each of them to the collection before next spring. Also, not sure he makes the combo you're looking for, but Lonnie Mabry makes an awesome box call that you can't go wrong with either. You just have to drive to Georgia to get it or wait until one of the more fortunate guys unload one here in the classifieds. There's obviously others listed above that are great but these are three that I trust with any of my box call needs.
