Has anyone every used the wood from a buckeye tree for a pot call striker?

Buckeye is a very light soft wood.  Unless stabilized I doubt that it would make a good striker.  It may work for early morning soft tree talking.  Unstabilized Buckeye only has a Janka rating of 350.  I prefer woods over 1500 janka for strikers.
