What type of wood would be a good choice for soft purrs and tree yelps on a slate surface? I'd kind of like to find one with a flared tip. Thanks!

Cedar or hickory for me. I also have a holly that can whisper quiet nicely.

For the soft stuff, I prefer Butternut or Sycamore.

I just got a Cedar from Callmakerman and it is awesome for soft calling.

Alaskan yellow cedar makes a fine soft call striker....

I whittled a striker from black cherry that can get nice and soft.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409
