Ah man these are some nice collections. I'm jealous. I don't have any of Marlins boxes yet. I'm sure they all sound great!

Bloodwood over Butternut. This box call has around 16 kills. This is my "go to" box and has a nice mature hen sound with a lot of yawk.

Picked up a mineral poplar & bloodwood, ready to put it to use this spring.

I have two that are just a bit above the rest of the excellent ones.

Claro/claro and Macassar/persimmon:

Mahogony/Bloodwood, and Butternut/Bloodwood both long boxes.

A few years ago I was lucky to get in on what Marlin called some truly rare apple wood,, paired with bloodwood,, someone offered me a Platz  call for it but I turned it down,,its the only fiddle box I own because I know I can't ever get a better one.

Macassar is a Voodoo wood in my hands ! Always special magical qualities  .
But when it comes to Mr Marlins boxes ... anything that ships out his shop !
And that's after getting to cherry pick his calls after the contest  callers get thru at the nationals. 
And to be honest it's something wood wise , visually , more than what it sounds like . They always sound great !

I recently got a Mac ebony over red heart from Marlin and that box is not only gorgeous it flat out screams turkey
