For me its hickory. It plays well for me on just about any surface. I always have a hickory with me. 2nd would be rosewood.

Hickory is hard to beat, but rarely carry one. I have a couple favorites for glass and slate, both whittled by hand. The first is osage and the second is maple. I wouldn't trade anything for those two strikers.
A very close third is walnut, I love the sound of purrs and clucks on a small slate with a walnut striker.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself. It just needs someone to carry it around the woods.

Snakewood and diamond wood. They both seem to run very well on all surfaces.

Purpleheart for glass and slate and also diamondwood for both, a diamondwood will bring out the rasp more and the purpleheart a little cleaner sound. Scoot

I agree with Scoot but would add black locust.

I wouldn't set foot into the woods without a Dymondwood, Purpleheart, Blk Locust, Olivewood and a Chechen. Those 5 will play on any surface in a pot call.

For me, on my slates it always red wood in corn cob, and willow in a corn cob, and a two piece oak. Glass for me is two piece oak, oak in a corn cob, and hickory in a corn cob. Somehow I have hung onto my willow and red wood strikers over 30 years. Been lucky not to have lost at least one of them.

I prefer Black Locust for both.
No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.
