You guys that like Purple Heart might not like so much if you had to work with it. Purple heart has a great mostly high pitch ( it seems to me) sound, but it is hard on tools. nothing dulls like purple heart. Ceader semms to be the best for purring and soft call, and White oak seems to be the most raspy to me. I really like it. bo-dock , or osage is good to but real hard.
To me the best case senerio, is for a turkey hunter to come in the shop and pick form several pots that are put togather , then proceede to a box full ( 50 0r 60) strikers and match it up the way they like it. It is amazing the difference a striker makes.
