There are a lot of talented callmakers on this site, so I thought it might be interesting to find out which wood combinations you
like the best.  I have probably tried 30 or 40 different combinations in the past 10 years but the combo I like the best is
Purpleheart and Mahogany.  This combo produces a nice high end with a rollover to a nice raspy finish.

I'm sure there will be a wide variety of opinions on this subject.

I personally like walnut and butternut. 

Great question Bill!

Walnut over Cedar.  Old school sound with an easy rollover and a lighter rasp.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I dont do box calls but my favorite friction combo to make is a slate over slate walnut pot with a hickory striker. Absolute killer combo! :fud:
