Best wood,and soundboard material.

Can more than the one guy who was kind enough to give me his opinion on it tell me a good pot material if wood which, soundboard material, and for a two peice dymondwood striker top material for making a plain aluminum call.

hard to beat a cherry or hackberry pot call .

Honestly walnut or Padauk in aluminum over glass should do the trick. Birch top for the striker

Yellow heart or walnut for the pot. If you want a good mellowed sound I would say slate for a sound board and you want a higher pitch I would go glass . As far as a head for your striker , it comes down to how heavy you like your strikers. Personally I perfer a 1 piece striker on most of my pots. It is sooo many wood combos out that its hard to say what makes the best. In my experience , the denser woods make great pots for aluminum.

My advice is pick a call maker.  Call him and talk.  He and you need to determine what a turkey sounds like to you.  Then let him build you a call out of whatever woods to match that sound.

IMO    3 woods that will never fail to produce a good turkey call black cherry ,,, hard maple and walnut as for the aluminum   want a higher pitched call use glass as sound board like a deeper raspier sound use slate or wood sound board

Thanks for the advice, ill def either contact jimmy Schaffer and just get a atomic 13 or call brookside and use yalls input and should come up with a good call. Sounds like walnut and cherry are staple call pots.
