Roost Wrecker-- I got a bunch of Brazilian Cherry several years ago when a friend was putting a "million dollar" deck around his house utilizing 1" Brazilian Cherry.  It's one of those woods which seems to run well on every call you try it on, is easy to maintain, extremely hard and dense, and will produce that high, but raspy yelp and cutts which drives birds crazy.  After I made my initial striker, I made a Brazilian Cherry "boat paddle striker" for all the folks I hunt with, and I'll guarantee that they all carry theirs as one of the strikers they go to first and most.

I was curious about the brazillian cherry had never heard one but do have some scrap wood from a mill.

I love jatoba for strikers, followed closely by dogwood

Last strut made me a call and sent me a Brazilian cherry striker sounds great on my an iodized aluminum call

Nothing and I mean nothing can be the sound and the use of an Ebony or an Ebony tipped striker on all calling surfaces.  I prefer a flared tipped striker also.

I believe Jatoba and Brazilian Cherry are the same wood. Someone confirm this for me? Musclewood is a small tree (bush) that grows in the understory of most hardwoods. It does not get very big, the biggest I have seen is 6" diameter but average is 4". It is very, very dense but cuts like butter on the lathe. Some people call it ironwood but I am sure "ironwood" is a different tree depending on who you ask. I cut and dry my own.
