Can Someone tell me what wood the Quaker Boy Grand Old master Was made of. Preferable the older 90's calls.

Thanks, Gerri

funny, I was just speaking to another member on the phone about this call. I got mine directly from QB in about 1990, guy said he would tune one up for me & its been my main box call ever since. Didn't come in bubble wrap, but wrapped in paper & boxed. Have called a ton of birds with it over the years. I like it better than any of my customs.  Poplar & Cherry, Field grade, not the glued one.  Mike

I've got one just like that and was just playing in it a bit ago.

I had a delux version back in 1985/6

The base on mine was glued frame 5 piece with the bottom walnut , the paddle was walnut or cherry ...I think the paddle on the regular models around that time were cherry , not sure it's been 30 plus years and that call fell victim to being sat on .....busted etc...
