Title: Butternut Box , short or long box
Post by: Greg Massey on August 31, 2018, 11:17:24 AM
Why do you think so many call builders like butternut for boxes ? Are you a fan of butternut boxes ? What is your favorite lid comb with butternut ...???

Neil Cost said Cedar best for lids, butternut best for boxes. Don't take his word for it, just look at all the butternut boxes that come up on the classifieds. And how many butternut boxes you have, I have four the most of my boxes out of 9. Let's make it a survey on butternut boxes. How many do you own?  My favorite combo is a cedar/butternut long box by Mr Snodgrass. :funnyturkey:

I have a Marlin Watkins bloodwood over butternut fiddle box and it's a pure killer!!  I killed a bird with it 30 minutes into opening morning. Marlin will tell you that if you want a pure turkey killing machine/great hunting box that bloodwood over butternut is the best he makes.
