Interesting to me, and not inordinately surprising, that the preponderance of " go to " strikers are on the harder end of the Janka scale. Two exceptions are birch ( AKA Frogwood ) at 1260 and hickory at 1820. I know in my own case I find the harder the wood, the better and easier they are to play.

I would also add that laminated birch would most certainly be higher on the janka scale. Not all hickory seems to be alike, but for the guys who really know what they're doing turning make some really fine strikers. I bought my Lyman Hickory for my slate but have been surprised at how much I love it with my ceramic.

Excellent point about the laminated nature of Frogwood. That stuff flat plays!

I haven't used these strikers (or pot calls) in a long time. Last year I took them out for a trial run on some public land birds, the birds liked all 3 of these. Every one runs great on aluminum, glass, and slate....Not even sure who made these, but they run fantastic.

The one on the right looks Brad Roberts

Yes, I believe you are correct, the Snakewood is from Brad.....a very good running striker for me. The Osage Orange striker says "Varmints Inc." on it, a fine running/sounding striker as well.

Early indications are..might be this one. Katalox

[doublespurs21]

 the osage striker with Varmints writen on it is by lonehowl,, first name is mark, don't remember his last name

[RH1]

...changed my mind again.

1 week left to prove it

Yep the Osage one is one of my older ones. I have not made strikers in a long while but love turning them.
