Mouth call maintenance?

and use something to separate the reeds, like toothpicks tips.

Wood or Plastic?

Usually plastic.

Round or flat

I like them about halfway in between.  I caught some little blond girl in my house going thru them saying stuff like..."This toothpick is too round, and this toothpick is too flat....but THIS toothpick is just right.  Chomp, chomp, chomp..."  That little turd ate my porridge, too.   

If all you had access to was wood, what is a good wood for separating reeds?

I would suggest a delicious, kiln-dried hard maple variety.  Pines and other soft woods interfere with the taste of my bourbon.

One last question and I think I am on my way to well maintained calls.. When you say "Tip" are you talking a mm or 1/8 inch, quarter inch etc?

Generally 10-15mm.  All the hardcore toothpickers know that the middle part makes the best firewood.

Thanks Stinky and I assume you leave the toothpick in while calling for continual maintenance

I used to...that is, up until the "incident".  I started cutting at a hot tom one morning, and....well, let's say uncle "Blinky" will have to get along with just one eye from now on.

Confused again? Is the Bourbon the anti septic or is the mouth wash?

Neither.  The bourbon is just breakfast.
