I love holly even had a crush on a girl in 5th grade named holly,,but I think it is the most beautiful wood and very expensive.
Love to see your pics of holly calls you own, I'm getting the Albert Paul Henry Davis soon but would like to see others,,
such a thing has a all holly box top and bottom?? Love to see some holly boxes made by SS who always do a great job.
Or any other makers you might have proud examples of.

SS Macassar Ebony - Holly
Preacherman Snakewood - Holly
Not in possession of it yet but I have a Pink Ivory and Holly in the works.
Wow. Great looking calls. Good thread. Unfortunately I have nothing to share. Except that I also had a crush on a Holly but it was my sophomore year. She married a guy with one of those air brushed tuxedo t-shirts. She turned out to be quite a homely lookin gal. That's why they say things were better in the old days. Nice calls and thanks for sharing. Bill Lyman and the Shoemakers have some beauties. This thread should keep changing different woods to get us through this boring deer season.
All those are awesome looking!!
Here's one I picked up at Unicoi, a Tony Quarino bloodwood over and under holly.
Wow! Those are all some beauties for sure. I have yet to get my hands on a piece of Holly (the wood), I'm still looking for some though. Maybe someday if I look harder I'll find some.

There's some nice pieces on ebay right now. Better grab it while you can as it won't last long.
Some fine calls for sure and I really like the parquet calls the SS boys built.
Ahem.......... Buice 40th set .. Holly/ Ebony boxes and trumpets.. Exquisite. Mine is #12 of 20.
Some fine lookin' calls guys!
Here are a couple of Richard's with Kelly's artwork! I like 'em.
