Title: Does anybody make a checkered long box, not very common??
Post by: Happy hooker on October 05, 2016, 08:11:34 AM
I don't own a long box but I have several regular size from different makers,,for me if it isn't checkered I just don't want it. I'm wondering why we don't see more fully checkered long boxes ?? I see them with checkered paddles but not ever or rarely with sides too. I would love to see one in the classic two row of checks on both the paddle and side of box with the nice inlays, basically a short box on steroids!!
Wondering why we don't see this more,,sound, time consuming, not has strong a long box???
Love to see some pictures if there's any out there.

I just spoke with Texarkana Texas' Dan Harris, and he has ten checkered long boxes that he will be bringing to Unicoi. I can certainly vouch for the sound and quality of his longboxes-I have two of them, and I wouldn't part with either of them. And, they are reasonably priced!

,,for me if it isn't checkered I just don't want it.

Hey, if that's what you like, that's what you like. Just have to point out that you will be passing up a lot of super killer sounding calls by that criteria. Just sayin'.
