A buddy sent this wood to me a few weeks ago to build a call for him. It is Ipe aka Brazilian Walnut and this piece came off the boardwalk at Atlantic City. Beautiful Wood, real heavy and extremely hard.....makes a killer copper call. Also had a piece of Gaboon Ebony laying around in the shop so I made him a nice striker to match the call as well. Hope you like it WM.

Brazilian Walnut (Ipe) is probably my favorite striker material.  The wood is almost oil free and conditions well when used.

Very nice!!
The addiction will cost you time and money and alienate those close to you. I can give you the names of a dozen addicts — myself included — whose wives begin to get their hackles up a week before turkey season starts and stay mad until a week after it closes.

How does that wood compare to bloodwood for the pot?

Did you happen to record the call in operation?

I did not record it but it is very close to the bloodwoods sound, little higher front end that breaks over into a good raspy bottom end.
