Walnut / Poplar

[Greg Massey]

Who likes a good Walnut over a poplar box?  One of my go to always carry favorites is this combo

Or what's your favorite carry combo?

I'm a tradionalist.  The old, stand-by, domestic wood combos are my jam.

Walnut over poplar, Eastern red cedar, butternut, walnut, sassafras, hard maple, wild cherry and (not domestic...but tradtional) Honduran mahogany.

I don't have one but it's looking like I may have one soon, 😀

Walnut / walnut and osage / butternut are hard to beat combos no matter who crafts the box.

My Albert Paul walnut/poplar was in my vest most of the season. I just got a Watkins bloodwood/mineral poplar that has a very unique sound hunted it today for the first time. Struck a bird and worked him a little with it but couldn't get him to commit.

Glad to see a like mind here. I'm the same about preferring domestic woods. I know some of the exotics are pretty and may even sound better in some cases but I'll stick to my traditional woods and be perfectly happy. There's something historical and to some extent some Americana about traditional domestic wood calls to me.

In my early box call days I used walnut/poplar and all walnut half moons exclusively. A couple other all walnut boxes that have taken a few gobblers are Albert Paul and Lonnie Mabry. More recent boxes taken to the woods have had a bit more bling, bloodwood/limba and bloodwood/mango.

There are many exotics that have all the qualities you could ever want in making a good box call. But the wild turkey is unique to North America (and mostly the US).  It somehow seems right to hunt with a box made of wood from the forest that he roamed around in. Poplar makes a fantastic call as well as butternut and sassafras.  Topped with the right piece of walnut or cherry they can be crazy good.

Cherry over Poplar.  always with me and usually used first.  lots of confidence in that box because the results prove it worthy.  maybe that confidence makes it so successful but going on 33 yrs with that box.  next up is walnut over poplar.
