In the hands of a skilled maker your a sure thing with these
Lid/body
Walnut/butternut- best sound but a little boring to look at.
Walnut/poplar-easy to tune contrast in colors make a nice looking call.
Purpleheart/cedar- little raspier sound,one of the prettiest boxes out there.
Has far has exotic lids,,snakewood is luxury!!! It's like leather interior in a car.
Nice black ebony always looks good atop anything.
