Title: Willow box call recommendation please
Post by: howl on March 22, 2018, 04:18:04 PM
I would like to get a box call and maybe a scratch box of the slightly decorative variety by mid-July 2018. Some type of willow must be one of the woods. Max. budget $125. Short box or one-sider with thumb cut-out.

Suggestions please and thank you.

Curious first, what constitutes "slightly decorative"  Second, what happens if you don't find a callmaker who can access Willow as your choice of wood?

If you want to source the wood and send it to me, I'll make it.

Well it turns out Dad's Favorite comes in purpleheart/willow and John Tanner makes a spalted willow/black locust with slight embellishment. Guess I'll flip a coin.

Thanks.
