What's your favorite flavor of Watkins?

I know a lot of guys have a particular wood for a box, whether it's a paddle material or body material, that they often gravitate towards. For me it's Blue Mahoe, which isn't necessarily the "best" or most traditional box call material but Marlin sure can find a turkey in it. What's your favorite?

I have a Blue Mahoe and mora and the Blue Mahoe is probably my favorite wood for the box. I would love to have a lineup like that . Out of those, what is your favorite combo??

I love his butternut boxes.  Mora, Macassar, Bloodwood, Ipe, snakewood, all killer!

Mora/Mahoe is a damn good one, probably his most common Mahoe combo. My favorite though is probably his next most common Mahoe combo and that is, Hop Hornbeam/Blue Mahoe. I've got a four call set of the Fiddle, Fiddle Paddle, Misfit, and One Sider in Hop Hornbeam/Blue Mahoe from him and all four of them are exceptional, world class, calls.

You wasted your money.  Should have gone poplar or cedar.  Blue mahoe is for pot calls! lol

That's what Marlin tells me too! Lol. Since the very first one I've got from him.

I've played some calls on his table at shows in other combo's and you're not lying either.

Anything with a butternut bottom too.  Bloodwood and Ipe over butternut.  Take it to the bank!

This hop horn over poplar rules, I like his boxes that I've tried with butternut, persimmon, walnut, maple, cedar... the North American woods.

Enjoying seeing the responses as I plan to pick up another one or two from him. I would say my favorite is probably mora/butternut or macassar/persimmon....very close though I like them for their own respective qualities
