Mike's boxes are top notch.  I've bought several from him.  Most of them, I have gifted to buddies of mine and they have loved them.  I currently run his bloodwood over walnut.  Great sounding box.  Give Mike a call or PM him, he'll fix you up.

Here's Mike's numbers: 269 223-3621 cell
                                   269 963-1058 home
gobblez@aol.com

Contact him and have him play a few for you and see what you like.  I fell in love with his Bloodwood over Walnut but everyone has a different ear for what they like.  You can PM him on here as well.

I have one and it's a nice box. I bought it when I really started turkey hunting. I thought I would like a box but I fell in love with pots. I still like boxes just don't use it much. Out of the box makers though I opted for spring creek because it's hard to beat it for the money

For me, if I want a box call from a custom call maker, I am going to call him.

I ordered one from Spring Creek, told Mike what I wanted, and told him to use whatever wood he suggested...  He made the call sound exactly as I had requested.

For me, a large part of the pleasure of purchasing any custom call is to talk to the call-maker and give him/her a bit of "artistic freedom" in designing a call personally for me...

I am looking very hard at Mike's jatoba over maple box and bloodwood over walnut. The front end pitch and squawk on the back end sound almost identical to a boss hen in the open river and creek bottoms where I hunt most.
