Kicking around calling Marlin and discussing a fiddle box/fiddle paddle set.
I'm more into native/domestic woods in my own boxes. What "non-exotic" wood combos do you all have that are to your (extreme) liking ???
My favorite box call is an all walnut, with a persimmon over mineral stained poplar a very close second....

bloodwood over spalted maple
Bloodwood isn't non- exotic. I like hop horn beam/ red cedar, serviceberry/ walnut
Cedar over Butternut.
Osage / minerised poplar
Hop horn/mineral poplar
Ipe over Pecan
My favorite box is apple , but it has a blood wood lid
Hop horn over cherry ... i just got one from him at Unicoi and all the wood comes from his old home place and he will note this inside the long box .....

Not a domestic combo but mac ebony and cedar is one killer combo.
Appreciate all the input, so far, fellers !!!
Thank yinz !!!
I've got a serviceberry over persimmon that's a killer.
Also consider a hop horn beam over walnut or apple.
